The major risk factors for prostate cancer include genetic, dietary, and environmental factors that effect male hormones (androgens) and make a man more susceptible to this cancer. Understand more at the following site

Hi Could be deadly, but not necessarily. What phase (early) discovered, metastasis .... etc. If caught on time, there are lot of science treatment as well as natural treatments. Also the disposition to do something of the patient. On my father,, an urologist told us he needed cancer treatment ... suggested some kind of radioactive stones on the area. I was not so sure, and after visiting another urologist, he found nothing where indicate prostate cancer. Another biopsy done and there was no cancer. Thanks God. Even though, if there was a cancer, we were talking of other science alternatives. Natural alternative could also have an answer, like Saw palmetto, selenium and good immune system boosters (as Transfer Factors) ... and I will also look at Graviola and Phytoplantoms. God Bless

I am not sure what the question is. I'll interpret it in two different ways: 1) What are the risk factors associated with prostate cancer? and 2) If you have prostate cancer what is your health risk? What impact will it have on your lifespan? Answering the first question. The risk factors of prostate cancer are in order of importance: 1) age; 2) ethnicity (African American have a higher risk than other ethnic groups); and 3) diet (high fat diet). Prostate cancer is a complex disease. Most men as they age will develop cancerous cells within their prostate. When taking autopsy of elder males, by the time they are in their 80s the majority of them will have some prostate cancer. But, the majority of them will have died of otherr causes. Prostate cancer very often is contained and does not spread. And, if it does it often spreads very slowly so as not to affect the lifespan of individuals. African Americans are at a greater risk simply because their dark skin pigmentation reduces their absorbption rate of Vit. D synthesized directly from sun exposure. Vit. D plays a crucial protective role related to prostate cancer. Regarding diet, Asians have a far lower incidence and mortality rate from prostate cancer. However, when they move to the U.S. and adopt our nutritional habits (eat more meat, saturated fat, etc...) their prostate cancer rates quickly increase to our levels. Thus, the Asians do not have a lower rate of prostate cancer because of any genetic component, but because of their protective lifestyle and nutrition. Answering the second question. Ultimately most cancers can be terminal. Prostate cancer is no exception. You can die from it. However, prostate cancer is far more benign than many other cancers such as lung cancer, colon cancer, and lymphoma. As mentioned before many more men who have prostate cancer die from other causes then die from prostate cancer. The older one is the higher the probability that one has some prostate cancer; but, also cancer growth rate drops with age. Several studies conducted in Europe concluded that invasive prostate removal and other surgeries did not expand lifespan over just "watchful waiting." And, that the lifespan of such individuals was normal and overall not curtailed by prostate cancer. Hope this info was helpful. Also, check out the books I mention under my sources. If you need any clarification on the above, don't hesitate to contact me through "Answer."
