No. prostate cancer has nothing to do with people who have colon cancer. That's not to say it couldn't possibly metasticize to the prostate, but plenty more men have prostate cancer and do not have colon cancer as well.

Do hereditary factors increase the likelihood of contracting prostate cancer?

[From Genetics of Prostate Cancer part of the National Cancer Institute website] As with breast and colon cancer, familial clustering of prostate cancer has been reported frequently. From 5% to 10% of prostate cancer cases are believed to be due primarily to high-risk inherited genetic factors or prostate cancer susceptibility genes. Results from several large case-control studies and cohort studies representing various populations suggest that family history is a major risk factor in prostate cancer. A family history of a brother or father with prostate cancer increases the risk of prostate cancer by 2-fold to 3-fold, and the risk is inversely related to the age of the affected relative.
