Prostate cancer is a disease that primarily affects men, with the risk increasing with age.
It is most commonly diagnosed in men over the age of 65.
Some factors that may increase the risk of developing prostate cancer include:
1. Age: The risk of prostate cancer increases with age, with most cases occurring in men over the age of 65.
2. Family history: Men with a family history of prostate cancer, particularly a father or brother with the disease, have a higher risk of developing prostate cancer themselves.
3. Race: African American men have a higher risk of developing prostate cancer and are more likely to be diagnosed at a younger age and with more aggressive forms of the disease.
4. Genetics: Certain inherited genetic mutations, such as those in the BRCA1 and BRCA2 genes, may increase the risk of developing prostate cancer.
5. Diet: A diet high in red meat and high-fat dairy products may increase the risk of prostate cancer, while a diet rich in fruits and vegetables may decrease the risk.
6. Obesity: Being overweight or obese may increase the risk of developing prostate cancer, as well as the likelihood of the cancer being more aggressive.
7. Lifestyle factors: Certain lifestyle factors, such as smoking and lack of physical activity, may increase the risk of developing prostate cancer.
It is important to note that while these factors may increase the risk of developing prostate cancer, not all men with these risk factors will develop the disease, and some men without any known risk factors may still be diagnosed with prostate cancer.
Regular screening and discussing any concerns with a healthcare provider can help to detect prostate cancer early, when it is most treatable.
