Prostate Cancer: Causes and Risk Factors

Prostate cancer is the most common type of cancer in men. It occurs when cells in the prostate gland start to grow out of control. The prostate gland is located just beneath the bladder and in front of the rectum. It produces some of the fluid that helps to carry sperm.

Although the exact cause of prostate cancer is unknown, there are certain risk factors that increase a man's chances of developing the disease. These risk factors include age, race, family history, and lifestyle choices.

Age: The risk of prostate cancer increases with age. Prostate cancer is most common in men over the age of 65.

Race: Prostate cancer is more common in African-American men than in men of other races.

Family History: Men who have a family history of prostate cancer are more likely to develop the disease themselves.

Lifestyle Choices: Men who have a sedentary lifestyle, smoke cigarettes, or have an unhealthy diet may be more likely to develop prostate cancer.

Certain medical conditions can also increase the risk of prostate cancer, including diabetes and obesity.

It's important to speak to your doctor if you are concerned about your risk of developing prostate cancer. Your doctor can perform tests to determine your risk level, and recommend lifestyle changes or other treatments to help reduce your risk. Early detection and treatment are key to improving your chances of survival.
