Research has suggested that diets high in fat may raise a man's testosterone level, which in turn promotes tumor growth in the prostate. Prostate cancer rates increase progressively with age. The disease is uncommon before age 50. More than 80 percent of prostate cancers are diagnosed in men over 65 years of age. However, all men over 40 years of age are at risk and should make prostate screening part of their regular health examination.
Any man can get prostate cancer, but some men are at higher risk.
Listed below are some risk factors associated with prostate cancer. Frequent urination, especially at night. Difficulty starting urination or holding back urine. Inability to urinate. Weak or interrupted flow of urine.
