Unfortunately anyone can get cancer at any age. Body gets thousands of cancerous cells daily. Typically it is not a problem as those cells are get killed by the immune system. The problem starts when those cells stuck and starts to multiply. But even then it may takes many years before the growth can be detected and starts to affect health. A person can get a cancer from single exposure to a highly carcinogenic factor and get cancer as sickness 20 years later. The best one can do is try to minimize risk factors to either avoid cancerous growth or at least to slow it down to the extent that it does not affect life expectancy.
