The main cause of cancer at the end of the day is aging. The longer you live the more likely you are to get cancer. That is why most people who get cancer are above 70. Having a better lifestyle will help reduce your risks but ultimately aging is increasing your risks no matter what

It's not evolving in a good way though, lifestyle is definitely a huge contributor, and doing all these things improves your healthy lifespan anyways, no reasons not to do them in the first place.
