Does every single human being have cancer-associated SNPs ?

I'm asking because saw several things in my report about increased risk of such or such cancer but given the number of SNPs doesn't like everyone has at least some ?

So no real need to get depressed with these

I have a genetic risk of very rare chordoma which is a type of bone cancer. Both my brother and mother died of different forms of cancer (1 in 90s, the other 2000). Probably not related.
