Cancer is a biological inevitability for all if you live long enough, but many of us die from other sources (ie. atherosclerosis in the old, trauma in the young) before onset. Secondly, the most common forms of cancer in males are lung cancer (which is highly preventable) and prostatic cancer (which is associated with increased age). Are these groups applicable to Fotze, and is the generalized statistic of 33% applicable to Fotze? Again, assuming his history is pretty standard, I am confident in saying NO.

I'm a noob here so I dunno if you two know each other or not.
If not, it is simply not cool ruling out major pathology based on statistics. How many modifying risk factors can a person have that they are NOT posting up on a public forum which could alter your guess work? Off the top of my head, I can think of a dozen bits of information that a person may not want to broadcast online... information that would make anyone think twice about a quick rule-out.
If a person is concerned about their health, go to a doc. Simple as that.
