Many things...cancer (as I am sure you know) is an overgrowth of normal cells, usually a mutation. Simply staying too long out in the sun can cause the ultra violet rays to burn your skin and cause your cells to mutate and grow too rapidly, causing skin cancer. Other things would include radiation exposure, or viral or bacterial infection that could cause cancer. And if I am correct, it can also be easier obtained by relatives having it as well which is a factor that causes cancer.
