Cancer. It all comes down to bad luck?

Not sure how to feel about this...

"A new Science study by a team at Johns Hopkins Kimmel Cancer Center has concluded that up to 66 percent of all cancer-causing mutations are the direct consequence of entirely random DNA replication errors.

The study suggests that most cancers are unavoidable, they're just part of nature, caused more often by bad luck than anything else. Mutation, which drives cancer, is actually totally normal. In fact, its the engine of evolution--if not for mutation, our genes wouldn't make the random changes that once in a while end up giving us a new, important skill--like making enzymes that break down lactose, or resistance to disease."
