it has to do with the make up of their cells. genes have a lot to do with it.

It can be hereditary.
Other times it can be from UV lighting, sun, smoking, cellphones, or just not looking after your body.

sometimes someones cell mutates randomly and causes cancer or if they have been exposed to small amounts of gamma radiation that can also cause cells to mutate

You can read about cancer here: http://www.healthocrates.com/Brain-Cancer

Quite good article from my point of view

Many reasons.

It is not a totally random disease.

Taking care of yourself plays a huge part in it. For example simply getting enough vitamin d throughout your life can cut your risks by around 60%. http://www.forbes.com/health/feeds/hscout/2007/06/08/hscout605382.html

Other things such as anti-oxidants and exercise reduce cancer risks too. This is because it it harder for cancer to grow in a well oxygenated environment and because antioxidants kill free radicals that help contribute to cancer growth. I have links to those, but I don't know where they are right now. Google searches for those search terms will give you some info on that.

Exposure to toxins in the air, water, and products people use contribute, too. Avoiding these things and using things like water filters helps, too. I've found after many years that for almost every toxic thing to get the job done, even things like shampoo and bleach, there is a safer, cancer-free alternative that usually costs much cheaper.

There is more, but commit yourself to a healthy lifestyle and you will most likely avoid it. A healthy life style is something that you really need to read into to know much about because there are many people out there giving advice, and not all of it is good. Go for the stuff that has some backing by clinical tests and such.

Most importantly, get enough vitamin d in your life. It makes your immune system strong and prevents cancer and does so many things. Best bet is from the sun, but don't burn, that is when the risk for skin cancer starts to come. I get out for 30 minutes a day about 3 days a week. In the winter I take about 2,000 IU a day.

Cancer is when a normal cell mutates and does not function normally anymore. It then replicates itself over and over sometimes causing tumors. Your body can usually get rid of these cells but not always. Cancer can be caused by so many things these days. Such as the sun, certain chemicals in the body, possibly cell phones, and so on.


dulcrayon
two reasons
1. exposure to outside sources (the list is really long, but foods, chemicals, airborn toxins, etc.
2. a predisposition to cancer (inherting certain genes that make you more susecptible to cancer)

example: Christina Applegates cancer-her mother had breast cancer--she got it

also, both can occur--a person with a predisposition to cancer is a heavy smoker
