Prostate cancer is a form of cancer that starts in the gland cells of a man’s prostate. It generally occurs to older men, the average age at the time of diagnosis is about 66 years old. Prostate cancer can be a serious disease, but most men diagnosed from this type of cancer, will not die from it.

Risk Factors

Prostate cancer only affects men, since women don’t have a prostate gland.

Risk factors include:

  • Age: The older the man is the more likely he will be diagnosed with prostate cancer.
  • Family History: If there is also a family history, such as a father or a brother, then they’re more than likely to develop the disease.
  • Ethnicity: Hispanics are least likely to get the disease than African-Americans, but there’s always a chance.
