TG, you can't honestly be trying to maintain the position that cancer isn't preventable some of the time, can you?

I don't think it ALWAYS is (I feel genetics plays a strong role), but there are many circumstances that can be directly traced to preventable causes.

Hell, look at mouth cancer rates among the general population vs. those who chew tobacco.

How we are effected by our genetics and hereditary diseases is how we are effected as a whole. You can try and prevent yourself from getting cancer, because you know your genetics, but it doesn't always happen. For example Diabetes runs in my family, so would be better for me to start giving myself a healthy diabetic kind of diet now, before I develop diabetes, instaed of waiting for that outcome, that doesn't mean that I won't develop it.

Smokers are not just likely to get cancer, they can get any type of lung disease, like cancer or emphasema etc. Just because you smoke doesn't mean your getting cancer is guaranteed. If it runs in your family however, your chances are higher.
