I wonder if the testing rates in places is higher than average. From my understanding the genetics that enable cancer baked into core of our DNA (I.e legacy DNA of single called organisms). People walk around with cancer and just never know it. Part of me wonders if places like these are just more aware of it or if there’s an out of the norm problem. Either way it should be investigated.
Cancers are genetic mutations that ignore safeguards that are in our dna. That is not to say that every tumour is going to become malignant. Or even get that far, our immune system deals with a lot of cancer before it even has the chance to spread.
