There are no known studies that show this statistic.

However:

A human body comes in contact with cancer triggers on a daily basis through food, water and air. The body normally attempts to cleanse itself and get rid of potential cancer growth before it becomes harmful. This process requires a healthy immune system which is supported by a healthy diet.

Thus a poor diet, low on anti-oxidants would be a contributing factor to any cancer. So it could be said that all cancer is at least partially caused by poor nutrition (a bad diet, or poor eating habits).

Eating healthy and adding nutritional foods to your diet is not a 100% cure or preventive measure for cancer; however, it is an important part of bolstering the immune system and a healthy immune system is the only potential factor for cancer prevention.

All cancer prevention measures are aimed at boosting the immune system and diet is the foundation for a healthy immune system.
