For example, cancer therapies are acceptable in fighting cancer, why not prevent it as much as possible in the first place?
Because civilization depends on a certain level of death to sustain itself. If suddenly you significantly drop the rate at which people die from cancer (tens of millions of deaths annually) then suddenly the population begins to climb even more rapidly than it is now.

If we were living a different way we would not only not have the cancer problem, but we wouldn't have the population problem.

Honestly, it wouldn't be our problem. It would be the third world's problem. They are the ones who would pay for it.
