They didn't show as far as I understand it that any particular fat caused cancer, just that if you're a mouse with cancer (in whatever way the researchers caused you to develop that?!) or are a cancer cell growing in laboratory dish that was later implanted into a mouse, for some unknown reason pre-exposure of these existing cancer cells to palmitic acid had some sort of effect making them more metastatic. Since I am not a mouse, or worse yet a mouse with oral or melanoma cancers, and since I'm aware of research showing too much dietary linoleic acid is not a good thing, I'll stick with my intake of naturally palmitic acid containing foods I consider healthy (for humans, not mice) such as meat and dairy fats and not interpret this study as an opportunity to frighten me away from eating healthy natural saturated fats.
