This certainly isn’t my specialty, but my take on it would be that every cancer is different from one another and every cancer has numerous things that cause the cancer. So it is unlikely that one specific thing is the cause. This is why developing treatments is such a challenge… I think this information from the Cancer Research UK website gives a good overview if you are specifically interested in this topic

It happens when the DNA in our cells becomes damaged and then cells change. These changed cells then divide without any control which leads to cancer. There are many causes, some dietary, lack of exercise, smoking, genetics etc.
