Anything (and nothing) can cause cancer. Some things definitely increase the probability of a cancer, certain chemicals, certain materials, electro-magnetic radiation, old age.<br /><br />Age is definitely a major component in the increase in cancer but whether it is the only component is difficult to test. There are suspicions about some components of modern life. For example Neanderthals don't seem to have our levels of cancer and Egyptian mummies on staastical like for like age comparisons seem to have fewer cancers - but that tells us nothing about cause.<br /><br />This is very complex stuff.<br /><br />John<br /><br />We need a much greater understanding of molecular biology, and this branch of science is advancing rapidly at the moment.<br /><br />It is likely that there will be no cure for cancer as such but a variety of treatments depending on specifics.John Lambsheadhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04598696442104566164noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4447293089931737000.post-89872712654042698812012-03-03T19:30:57.372+00:002012-03-03T19:30:57.372+00:00Dear Drax
