Hi Allan,
That is totally congruent with my understanding too. Some research has 
shown higher rates of cancer among untreated celiac disease patients 
(1). Other research shows high numbers of fragile sites and aberrations 
in lymphocytes of untreated celiac patients (2), yet most of these do 
not result in cancerous tumours. The small portion of this chromosome 
damage that could develop into cancer is normally sought and destroyed 
by natural killer cells before a tumor develops, or very early in tumor 
development (1).
