Studies concerning garlic's anti-cancer abilities look promising. Of 37 studies done to examine garlic's effectiveness as a cancer inhibitor, 28 were successful. Preliminary studies show an increased cancer inhibiting effect on prostate cancer and stomach cancer.
Researchers believe that there are many factors in garlic's ability to fight cancer. One factor is the many compounds found in garlic, including allyl sulfur. Allyl sulfur can slow down damage the progress of cancerous cell growth.
Recent findings support a growing body of evidence that garlic works as an anti-carcinogen in both prevention and treatment, and that garlic and related foods play an important dietary role in the cancer process. For instance, scientists have correlated garlic intake with reduced nitrite levels in people and fewer deaths from stomach cancer are recorded.
Currently it is unknown specifically how garlic protects but it may relate to blocking formation of cancer-causing compounds, stopping their ability to form tumours or even inhibiting the growth of tumour cells.

I personally never heard anyone getting cancer from garlic alone, even if I had cancer twice myself as a teenager.

Not sure.There are more than one hundred types of cancers and each type of cancer has different symptoms. Many of these symptoms are also associated with common ailments, so only thorough checkup by a doctor, can identify the real problem . More details and information at http://candp.org/
