"In other words, the individual incidence of cancer deaths has actually fallen."

cancer incidence rising strongly correlates with our ability to detect as well as the push to look for it.

I also believe many of the cancers we successfully treat would be non issues if left alone. (all the young women who found lumps and become breast cancer survivors)

Before we go any further, are you a scientist or a doctor? You're arguing on a thread where there are a bunch of scientists who have fairly deep knowledge in this area (it's still an area that a lot of people who come from external areas, like physics, struggle with frequently).

Cancer rates are strongly driven by age- cancer incidence increases exponentially as people age (stochastically, of course).

you're gonna die, bucko! of A,B,..Z., sooner or later. Make it past Y,and Z's gonna get ya. Change my mind!
