There's a good reason why we're seeing an increase in cancer -- because people are living longer! It's not that there's an epidemic of cancer, but rather an increase in the average life span of people from 1900 to 2010. In 1900, the avg age of death was 45; in 2010, it's 75.
Cancer is a disease of old age. If you're not dying from vaccine-preventable diseases and have access to antibiotics, then you're probably gonna end up dying from something like cancer or heart disease. Once we solve those, then people will start dying from kidney disease, pneumonia and falls due to osteoporosis.
Something will get us eventually. A mere increase in ratio doesn't constitute an epidemic.
