Keep in mind lifetime risk includes the risk of getting it in old age, where it might be a case of if you didn't die of cancer, you'd just die of some other ailment (heart attack, dementia, etc) instead.

Evolution only optimized our parts to last for so long, and once you get past that age, everything kind of starts failing simultaneously.
