Beta(β)-karoten dapat bekerja sama dengan sistem imun sebagai faktor kausatif untuk mencegah kanker. β-karoten dapat menjaga sistem imun dari kerusakan yang disebabkan oleh ROS (Reactive Oxygen Species) sehingga sistem imun dapat menjalankan tugasnya dengan maksimal agar dapat mengenali sel-sel abnormal dalam tubuh yang nantinya dapat menyebabkan penyakit, antara lain kanker.
