Remember The Shining, when Jack Torrance was typing fast,
"All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy. All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy...." ?

Looks like God did the same in our DNA. And, it gives us cancers.

Illuminating Genetic Dark Matter - Uncovering Human "DNA Repeats"

First direct analysis of pathogenic sequence repeats in the human genome. Expansions of DNA repeats are very hard to analyze. A method developed by researchers at the Max Planck Institute for Molecular Genetics in Berlin allows for a detailed look at these previously inaccessible regions of the gen

Cancer is a horrible disease At all ages 😟 and one advice is to have tighter controls with doctors and eat lots of antioxidants 😇

God Gives and God Takes Away with borrowed time 😐

It's certainly nice we have figured out yet another potential cause for cancer, but I think you know all well it's not that simple.
There is no one cancer. It's a thousand and one genetic diseases bunched up under one "cancer umbrella" so general population can at least try to cope.

Nonetheless, this is interesting. When I was at Uni (I studied biophysics and cellular chemistry), I worked in a lab that was working with knot theorists and trying to implement maths into programming bacteriophages who could help with RNA transcription errors (another cause of cancer). As far as I know (it's been decades), that research hadn't lead anywhere, though and knot theorists are no closer to being able to untangle DNA helix to help prevent transcription errors (let alone repair them in the DNA itself) than they were back then.

We need true AI and nanobots if we are to dabble into cellular repair of this magnitude.
