Is cancer made by man?

I was discussing different diseases with a friend, and he mentioned something intriguing. He said that cancer is actually a man-made disease, caused by our modern lifestyle and pollution. Is there any truth to this, or is cancer a natural occurrence?

I used to worry if all these modern chemicals and plastics actually created cancer in a lab. Has anyone else felt this kind of anxiety about our modern environment? It's really scary sometimes.

Arrey nahi, cancer koi man-made disease nahi hai. Haan, aaj kal ki lifestyle aur pollution ki wajah se cases badh gaye hain, par disease toh natural genetic mutations se hi hoti hai na.

Haha, no, humans are not smart enough to invent something so complex. Cancer has been found in ancient dinosaur bones too, so nature got there way before we did. We just added processed food to the mix!

Cancer is not man-made, but our artificial lifestyle and chemical-loaded foods definitely trigger it more now. I always suggest eating fresh organic foods and practicing yoga, but if anyone has serious symptoms, please see a medical specialist immediately.

Our elders often talk about how simple life was earlier, making us think cancer is a modern invention. But doctors clarify that cancer has always existed in human history. Modern lifestyle only increases the risk, it is not man-made.

I also used to think cancer was created by modern industries, but then I read that mummies from ancient Egypt also had cancer. It is just a natural failure of cell division, so don't let those conspiracy theories stress you out.
