Of course you’re always at risk. If there were a way to eliminate the risk entirely, you’d be immortal! And yes, cancer does happen no matter what. I believe this has been acknowledged for quite some time. For example, prostate cancer in older men is basically guaranteed, and the only question is whether something else will kill you first, because it’s often very slow growing. But it’s still extremely useful to distinguish between this sort of inevitability, and risk factors that could cause you to die from cancer years or decades earlier. Our DNA is the mother of all spaghetti code and it’s no surprise that there are a lot of different things that can make it go wrong.
