While there are connections between genetic damage and cancer, cancer is also linked with carcinogens.



Carcinogens = chemicals that damage the genes that regulate the cell cycle.

You have to damage the DNA to get cancer. The only other way is to be infected by a virus which still affects the DNA by incorporating their DNA into yours.
