Do Prostate cancer occurs in teenagers?

Answer 1

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.

Answer 2

Men 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

Answer 3

It is theoretically possible for any man to develop prostate cancer, but in men under the age of 35 it is basically unheard of. Even for men who are 35-44, the incidence is only 9 per 1,000,000.

Answer 4

Cancer can strike anyone at any age. However it would be extremely rare for a child to get prostate cancer.
