Most patients will never experience symptoms, Prostate cancer is the most common type of cancer found in American men, other than skin cancer. Some symptoms are a need to urinate frequently, especially at night, Difficulty starting urination or holding back urine, Painful or burning urination, Painful ejaculation, Frequent pain or stiffness in the lower back, hips, or upper thighs. Hereditary = Risk factors are Age, Family History, Ethnicity, and Diet. Family history is the strongest risk factor for prostate cancer. A man with one close relative (such as a father OR brother) with prostate cancer has twice the risk of developing prostate cancer as a man with no family history. If two close male relatives (such as a brother AND a father) are affected, a man's lifetime risk of developing prostate cancer is increased 5 fold.

There are no early warning signs! A yearly PSA test is all but required for men over 50...elevated PSA can indicate a problem. At the same time, your prostate is palpated by the doc to see if anything abnormal can be felt. This is a very slow growing cancer and if caught very early, has a good prognosis. The propenisty for the cancer is inherited, but because others in your family have had prostate cancer does not mean you will have it..it does mean you have to be on the look out for it, as we all should be. Good luck
