I believe that while diet can be a contributing factor, it is not a main factor where cancer is concerned. Poor diet COUPLED with something else within that person adds up to cancer. If eating a low fat diet kept cancer away, then we wouldn't need a cure, now would we??
I truly believe that some people are genetically disposed to "getting" cancer. I believe it's why some can smoke two packs a day and avoid cancer and others cannot.
