[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.
