but she developed breast cancer ten years earlier and it came back.

I'm not doubting medical science one bit but I do know there are plenty of us that fall through the cracks of who science deems likely and unlikely to develop cancer or disease.

A long time ago I was told that I had a type-A personality and that is why I developed Crohns disease which now is rightly identified as autoimmune disease. The evolution of science. The first doctor I saw about diagnosis actually thought I needed a psychologist. Turns out the only thing that frustrated me were the doctors that lacked a correct diagnosis. Go figure. :)

It would be great to think that those in risk categories could do away with unnecessary detriment by avoiding certain lifestyles or diets but I do think there is a bit more than that in the final conclusion. Heredity and environment play an instrumental part that sometimes is overlooked in our search for cures or in the pursuit of health.

This is a positive article and I am not disputing that but so many things are involved here with the development of cancers including age as you so correctly stated.
