Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Men who have a first-degree relative (father or brother) with prostate cancer have a higher risk of developing the disease themselves. Other risk factors include age (over 50), race (African American men have the highest incidence rate), and having a high-fat diet. BPH is not a known risk factor for prostate cancer, and not having a PSA test does not increase the risk of developing prostate cancer itself.
