prostate cancer is mostly a genetic disease. It tends to travel in families. There is no specific thing that a man can do to cause the cancer to appear.
It is the biggest form of cancer in men over 50 years of age, and if not treated early enough, will certainly cause death.

∙ 12y agoProstate cancer can be caused by simple old age. It is a disease of the elderly and comes on as the body grows older. But not all old men get it, there is a lot of involvement by a person's genetic make-up. Some men pass on the gene for prostate cancer to their children who in turn develop the disease just like their fathers.
It should also be noted that 20% of cancers are caused by a virus. So it is possible that a person can contract a virus which in turn harms the prostate gland causing a cancer to develop over time.
