Research Notes on Prostate Cancer Causes and Risk Factors
The major known risk factors for prostate cancer are age, race and family history. Diet and other environmental factors may play a role as well.
Fast Facts:
- Age is the most important risk factor; more than 65% of cases are men over age 65 and the average age at the time of diagnosis is 70.1
- For unknown reasons, African-American men are more often affected than men of other races.2
- BPH, prostatitis and sexual activity have all been ruled out as risk factors for prostate cancer.3
