I think it may be genetics. Some people are just predisposed to certain types of cancers while others who engage in risky behavior (like smoking) aren't.

See: http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/entrez/q...t_uids=9761118

Kinda explains how some people can smoke until they die of natural age (ex. Chairman Mao Zedong) and not get cancer.
My Uncle Peter chain smoker til the day he died at 86
