No, it's typically associated with genetic loss and aging. Genetic mutation comes from the time when someone is even born. There are two repeating sequences on both sides of ones genes. Every time a cell divides, there is a chance some of this data can be lost without damaging the real internal dna. What happens typically with cancer is just a uncommanded need for a cell to divide due to internal dna getting broken, and the shutoff mechanism is also broken, as well as the fails safes. Cancer can happen other ways as well, but this is the most common.
Cancer happens in all of us. You yourself have about a 90% chance of having cancer as I write this. Your body actually is designed to recognize it and kill it. Problem is, sometimes it can't. When this happens, and there is no intervention by the medical professionals, you die unless your body can find a way to get it back under control. The only problem is, the methods used to kill cancer can also damage your healthy cells.
Basically, once you do get an out of control cancer, I myself believe you have cancer for life even if cured for that one time. It may not be back for 10 to 20 years, but its coming back at some point.
