Cancer has been around for a long time and was in existence before humans walked on Earth.
Dinosaurs developed cancer.
Pictured below is a fossilized brain tumor in the fossilized skull of a relative of the Tyrannosaurus Rex the Gorgosaurus which lived here on Earth 72 million years ago.

"Their tumours were like those of human patients, showing that cancer has been around, essentially unchanged, for a very long time. "Diseases look the same independent of what critter is affected," says radiologist Bruce Rothschild of the Northeastern Ohio Universities College of Medicine in Rootstown."
It would seem impossible for something to be man made if that something, in this case cancer, was in existence before there were even men to make things. Simply put, cancer has been plaguing the Earth for a long time and was not "made" or "invented" by humans.

There has recently been a study on an enriched environment and how that affects the cancer, and the outcome is amazing. In a living environment rich with physical, mental and social stimulation (causing mild stress) it was curbing the cancer growth.
In our current society of alienation and a numbing of our senses... we could in fact, be creating a hot house for cancer and other diseases. I also saw the effects of touch deprived people in my many years of massage therapy. We have come a long way in so many technological ways, but we are isolating and stressing ourselves out now more than ever and that is having a dire effect on our bodies.

professionals such as doctors. Cancer, in its most fatal and aggressive form, is
of a larger class of diseases known as neoplasms. There are two forms of a
neoplasm: benign or malignant. A benign neoplasm is encapsulated, or surrounded,
so that it's growth is restricted, whereas a malignant neoplasm is not closed in.
Malignant tumors grow much more quickly than benign forms and spread into the
surrounding normal tissue, and virtually destroy it, (Grolier Electronic
Encyclopedia, Cancer).
The question is, what exactly is cancer? Cancer, is the break down and mutation
of the cells of the body, when the DNA (Deoxyribonucleic Acid) sequences in
those molecules are disrupted and errors form in the structures, (Grolier,
Genetic Code). This mutation spreads through surrounding tissue until it
disrupts major systems in the body (such as respiratory, digestive and waste
management) cause that system to fail.
