Answer:

From an evolutionary perspective, diseases may have multiple causes. Thus, cancer may be thought of as a disease of aging, as the result of a conflict between levels of selection, as a disease of chance, and as an environmental disease. Cancer results from somatic mutations that go unrepaired.
