Prostate Cancer Causes and Risk Factor

Up until now, doctors still can tell what the exact cause of cancer prostate is. However, a man's risk of developing prostate cancer is related to:
  • Age
    Older people in higher risk than the younger one.
  • Genetic/Race
    Genetic background may contribute to prostate cancer risk, as suggested by associations with race, family, and specific gene variants. In the United States, prostate cancer more commonly affects black men than white or Hispanic men, and is also more deadly in black men.
