How can I increase the rate of regeneration in humans without the possibility of tumors developing?

The demigods are immortal individuals that protect our reality from eldritch abominations, such as Cthulhu, Niggurath, etc, on a plane that exists between our world and theirs. These battles against these eldritch forces and their minions happen on a daily basis to prevent them from breaching our world.

A demigod is born with a divine spark in their soul, which matures as they age and blooms around puberty, when it reveals itself. At this point, they are taken from their families by the demigods and put through a process that turns them into true demigods in order to control their power. This process suppresses their memories as a human, in which they exist as a vague, half-forgotten dream.

These demigods are still half-mortal, making them susceptible to human illnesses. One of their capabilities is regeneration. They can rapidly heal or regrow body parts and organs at an accelerated rate. However, this would rationally lead to an increase of cancer in humans. This disease occurs from abnormal cell growth, in which cells divide too often and create tumors. This would kill my demigods in quick succession, making the time and investment placed into them worthless.

How can I prevent this from occurring in my demigods?
