The root cause is our biology. Thus the longer we live, the more likely it is that we will run into this horrible disease.

Interestingly enough the longer you live the less likely the cancer is to kill you as the cancer cells originate from "old" cells and have degraded ability to divide. If you are 90 years old and get cancer it's unlikely it will kill you before you die of natural causes.
