Human biology and statistics make it pretty much inevitable that you will eventually develop cancer - unless something else kills you first. If and when we have effective treatments for cancer (which is a really complicated disease) we'll all die in traffic accidents.
Viewed that way it's really impressive how good medical science actually is.

Still sucks to lose so people to cancer, of course.
