As someone who got top grades in science classes, and a follower of science news for decades, I’ve never heard of temperature being a risk factor for cancer.
That said, it does make sense. Heat can cause damage to cells just like many chemicals can. I just don’t think many people connected the dots.

I did biomed in uni 10 years ago and they did indeed speak about this as a risk factor in my clinical microbiology class.
I assumed that was what gave my dad throat cancer because he was always gulping down hot coffee but the cause was something else in the end.
