Cancer is ALWAYS the result of cellular defects. There are many proteins responsible for controlling the cell cycle to try to prevent uncontrolled cell growth. But we irresponsible humans have now entrenched ourselves in an environment with man-made carcinogens and mutagens. The genes that code for the controlling proteins mutate, which results in lack of control, which results in cancer. I interpret cancer as a sign that our genome is slowly deteriorating.
