There's been a lot of speculation between fungi and cancer, yet know one knows for sure if there is a true link. If they did then they would have found a cure for it. You can google the subject and read many various opinions about it
There is no link between all cancers, so no way can ALL cancers be due to fungus. Are some of them? Who knows, jury is out on that one. Hoping (as a stage IV patient) they figure it out soon!
If there is any information on fungal infections causing cancer, I would appreciate someone posting a link.
People with weakened immune systems, including patients with cancer, are more susceptible to fungal infections, but I cannot find anything about fungal infections causing cancer.

There's a guy out there called Dr. Tullio Simoncini, who claims cancer is a manifestation of candida albicans (yeast infection), and can be treated with sodium bicarb (baking soda). FYI: baking soda can't even cure candida infections.
Dr. Max Gerson, creator of his own version of "cure-all" therapies and founder of the Gerson Institute, believed that intestinal bacteria and yeast overgrowth, was a primary contributing factor in the formation of malignant cells and that coffee enemas and a bunch of other random nonsense would cure the cancers.
Basically - the concept of cancer as fungus and/or cancer caused by fungus is all woo.

I, too, would say there is a correlation between low immune system and susceptibility to cancer but as to fungal causes, who knows? Personally if I had to guess and base it on things I've read, I would say that people with impaired immune systems would be more likely to have fungal overgrowth since fungus is an opportunistic organism and will prey on weakness. But does fungus CAUSE cancer or is it just more likely to be present when cancer exists? I don't think anyone can honestly say yes or no.
Cancer is a uncontrolled division of cells. Further clarified in that cancer is mostly a disease of the DNA. A fungus is its own organism witch include yeast and molds. So no they are not the same thing.
Cancer attacks the immune system. Yes, a weakened immune system can spead up the spread of cancer and increase the risk of e disease.

So you're taking information from 36 years ago. Which has been proven to be wrong time and again. How about NO.
The advances made in 36 has been amazing. The progress made is outstanding. However, we have a long ways to go. Sites like you ones you quoted are a major disservice and chocked full of misinformation that make them dangerous and if anyone accepts it they take us backwards.
