Is It Possible That Cancer Is Just the Inherent “Trial and Error” Mechanism of Adaptation?

Question by Joao: Is it possible that cancer is just the inherent “trial and error” mechanism of adaptation?
I’ve been searching and I found that cancer is just a kind of mutation amongst many others. But I wonder if cancer, in a less egocentric point of view, isn’t just the “programing” of evolution, common to all life, making is way through a long and painful “trial and error” mechanism, inherent to itself?
I gave the example of cigarettes, (which isn’t a necessary change in the environment), but still a relative recent habit. And independently of its cause, (which is rooted in addiction), still is a new threat interpreted by our body as a new factor in the surrounding environment.
As another and more descriptive example: You can find that brain tumor had an increased since radio or more recently, when mobile phones arrived which MAYBE is just the starting of the physical evolution for us to start forming a biological kind of “antenna” so that we can continue to use our hands, for instance…
Even if the cancer has a more probability to appear in advance ages, that might be a symptom of a body which has a longer exposition to new hazard conditions, therefore, if the body is still able for reproduction, (even if it is at final stages), it can transmit a more complete genetic encoding.
