If a blood related has been diagnosed with prostate cancer, such as a parent, brother, or kid, your risk may be enhanced. Additionally, if you have a strong family history of prostate cancer or a gene that increases the risk of the cancer, your risk of prostate cancer may be higher.
2. Old age
As you become older, your chances of developing prostate cancer grow. After the age of 50, it becomes more common.
3. Obesity
Obese people may have a higher risk of prostate cancer than people who are considered to be of normal weight, though studies have yielded mixed results. Obese people are more likely to have cancer that is more aggressive and that returns after therapy.
4. Race
Black people have a higher risk of prostate cancer than those of other races for unknown reasons. Prostate cancer is also more likely to be aggressive or advanced in Black men.
