Yes, cancer does correlate to DNA - mutations in the DNA. Cancer isn't heriditary, however, DNA is heriditary ...

The point of the mutations and the location if what affects to site of where the cancer begins.

There are ways to reduce the risks of cancer, but sometimes its inevitable.

My heart goes out to that family.

Hope this helps. I'm not a doctor, or planning on being one. I just recently took a college course where we studied this somewhat in depth.
