I am suprised that you can't find anything on the subject of cancer. I've provided some links below that will definately get your research started. The links that are below are mostly on skin cancer. I think this particular cancer will give you alot of information.
How do you get skin cancer?This question can be pages long. The most obvious answer to this question is simply staying in the sun for to long without any sunblock. Also, constant use of a tanning bed will increase the chances of skin cancer.

The true causes of cancer are still widely unknown. Tobacco and diet together contribute to about 60 % of cancers. Radiation is also known to cause cancer. Try going to cancer.gov and looking at specific types of cancers - there are links for causes under each cancer type.

Some people are just plain unlucky!
Some things can increase your risk factors.
There are very few direct "if you do this you WILL get cancer" things.
I have attached a link to site with suggestions on how to reduce your risk of cancer, doing the opposite would increase our risk.
