| I'm no doctor so I can't even begin to claim any expertise in any illness. This is just my opinion. I think cancer has more to do with genes than anything else although certain factors can influence or encourage certain states to come forward. Look at the people in their 80s who smoked nearly their entire lives and never develop cancer (although their lungs are a mess). I knew such a man. He died from natural causes. Had he not smoked he could have lived to be 100 years old. As gruesome as this may sound, Lance probably would have gotten cancer no matter what.
I think his superior fitness and sheer strength (mental and physical) helped him pull through the disease and conquer it like so few have. If drugs and cycling brought on his cancer then drugs and cycling also helped him beat it.
