I like that rant you made on my question about who makes this dog vest.
No one asked you for your uninformed opinion about service dogs. Laws vary from country to country, for you to generalize makes you look stupid. (Dunning Kruger) And you don't FAKE a service dog where I am from... you FAKE disability requiring the use of a service dog. The DOG has no regulations, certifications, etc etc.
Stop answering questions you know little about. Work on your reading comprehension while at it.

What is caner? Do you mean cancer?
It depends on the breed.

No, I've never wondered about other breeds except my own breed the GSD, but all I know is that the cancer rate in dogs AND people has risen dramatically since the 1960`s and there must be a reason why this is happening.
I think air pollution,(caused by hundreds of different things) and additives in food have a lot to do with it, but the world is not going to give up cars or lorries, gadgets, or long lasting food products, so its all basically ignored.

FWIW this was the result of a breed-specific health survey of my main breed. Quite high. We've had more than our fair share of cancer-related deaths, IN OLD AGE. There was a bloodline in America which suggested there is an hereditary involvement and we had some of that line in our hounds.
Our cancers, in our hounds, were not all the same by a long way. We had a mammary cancer, lymphoma, oral cancer, and a stomach cancer. We had another, with a delayed diagnosis, and I believe her cancer originated (the primary) in the bladder but eventually settled on the lungs. We have lived in many many places and on two Continents so ? surroundings? And although we do feed a complete diet, not always the same make throughout.
Yes, I was aware of this lurking in some bloodlines, and adjusted my breeding programme accordingly - just another thing to be aware of when planning a breeding!

Here is a helpful link on Cancer rates in various breeds and the types most commonly seen, that I found done on UK/European (over 16,000 dogs) as of 2013:
