Given that we will all get cancer if we live long enough (unless some significant new technology emerges), possibly it's more useful to learn to think philosophically of the state of healthy as being a sort of Schroedinger's box in which we do not really know the internal state of the system without inspecting it, since cell mutations are happening all the time (albeit usually being resolved harmlessly) -- that you're not in some Garden-of-Eden pure, noncancerous state ever.
