Age isn't necessarialy a requirement for prostate cancer. Cancer doesn't care what your age is, and with prostate cancer it's only concerned with growing. If you, or someone you know suspects that there might be anything wrong with their prostate, you need to go to your Dr. ASAP! This should not be put off, or, one of those "let's wait and see what happens" deals. This can be an aggressive fast growing cancer, if you give it time to grow, the cost is high! So, don't risk it, get checked out and make sure they run the test for prostate cancer, if that is your concern. That way, you can relax once you see the test results, not just rely on what the Dr. says, then secertly worry. Sometimes you have to push your Dr. to get them to run a certain test, but you are the patient, ask for what you want and get it. Hopefully all will turn out cancer free, but don't forget in your relief, what are the reasons that have caused you to be concerned in the first place. Then you need to follow up and find out what the cause of those are. Good Luck.

No. The cause of prostate cancer is not known. What we DO know is that if a man lives long enough, he will develop prostate cancer. By age 70, most men have an enlarged prostate, and by age 90 we all do. Some of us develop fast-growing and therefore dangerous cancers, but most of us will live out the remainder of our lives with a slow-growing cancer that won't develop fast enough to be a danger.
