This is what makes me skeptical about the possibility of the virus offering general protection. We have this immune system that provides us with protection from infection if we've already had measles, to the point that it will protect the cancer too. That means that unless you get measles for the first time while you happen to have cancer, it's not going to help you. So I suspect this didn't actually come up enough in nature to have a real impact.
