and I strongly subscribe to the theory that synthetics are the root causes of cancer.

Some 2250 years ago in Egypt, a man known today only as M1 struggled with a long, painful, progressive illness. A dull pain throbbed in his lower back, then spread to other parts of his body, making most movements a misery. When M1 finally succumbed to the mysterious ailment between the ages of 51 and 60, his family paid for him to be mummified so that he could be reborn and relish the pleasures of the afterworld.
Now an international research team has diagnosed what ailed M1: the oldest known case of prostate cancer in ancient Egypt and the second oldest case in the world. (The earliest diagnosis of prostate cancer came from the 2700-year-old skeleton of a Scythian king in Russia.)
Prostate cancer is highly associated with age. If you live long enough you will likely get it. This is well known. Though, it often goes undetected and you die from something else.
People often didn't live beyond sixty 2000 years ago. Heck they rarely went that long 200 years ago.

Yea, I'd say prostate is probably the one least influenced by diet or anything like that and thus the hardest to avoid (at least of 'common' cancers).

Correct. Studies have been done that suggest the average human is programmed to live to a max of 125 years. The telomeres of our chromosomes degrade and shorten with aging, 125 years is the estimate of when they eventually disappear, leaving nothing to protect our genes from mutations associated with replication.
