Personally I think cancer is hit or miss. Just something goes wrong. I know a nun who died from lung cancer. From a small village in Mexico and never smoked a day In her life. Not saying smoking is good for you just if you are gonna get it you’re gonna get it.
I know people who have never done anything to cause cancer who’ve had it and watch people who should’ve died young live to 90.
Hit and miss.

My poor mother just died at 90 of pancreatic cancer. It infuriates me that her last few words were “How did I get this? I did everything right!” Her final thoughts were that she had eaten something that had given her a fatal disease. No matter what the kind young residents told her, she blamed herself for dying!

That’s why I hate health nuts and their running dogs.

Not every smoker gets lung cancer, but smokers get 5 times more lung cancer than non-smokers.

My brother-in-law is an Oncologist who has spent the last 45+ years treating cancer patients and his assessment is that it is hereditary..........

He's treated lung cancer patients who have never smoked, liver cancer patients who have never had a drop of alcohol, and the list goes on.

The bottom line is that everyone is within a "health risk" group but it's your genetics that will determine whether or not you contract cancer.........
