The incidence of prostate cancer increases with age, and though highly unlikely, it is theoretically possible for a teenager to develop prostate cancer.
It is basically unheard of for a person under 35 to develop prostate cancer with under 0.1% of prostate cancer diagnoses. For the age group 35-44, the incidence of prostate cancer is about 9 per 1,000,000 men. The average age at diagnosis is 67.

∙ 14y agoMen of any age can get prostate cancer, it is however more likely to be found in men over age 50. Over 8 of 10 men with prostate cancer are over the age of 65.
African-American men are at higher risk than Caucasian men. Men with a family history of prostate cancer are at higher risk, also. In this case, family history means that your father or a brother had prostate cancer.
Obesity also increases the risk
