    Hardly any cancers grow so slowly, that they would be found decades before they caused symptoms.

    For your hypothesis to be true, a cancer would need to be detectable today (but not 20 years ago) in an adult (say, 30), but not cause any symptoms until the 40s or 50s (where cancer cases were "traditionally detected). That’s rather unlikely.
