The percentage quoted is a bit high, and misleading. The risk of cancer increases with the age of the doe, and it does go up significantly once they reach 5-6 years old. Only one study showed the 80% (in older does), others show it at more than half, which is still pretty high but not as high as the one study (which also used small sample size).
But that doesn't have anything to do with the OP's original question. The dewlap is normal and not an indication that your rabbit is overweight. As long as it's not so big it interferes with her drinking water from a bowl, I wouldn't worry about it.
