Yes...of course that is, if you are male. Don't allow cancer to fool you. It can strike anyone at any age.
2 :
ur screen name is tight! any way i would think its possible but just very rare! im wearin my j's right now!
3 :
Probably unusual...but not impossible. If you have a question about this ask your doctor to check your prostate for enlargement (especially if you are having difficulty in urinating) and also to run a PSA test.....Prostate Serum Antigen
4 :
yes
5 :

6 :

7 :
anything can happen, but unlikely. best to see a doctor to check out whatever is your problem
8 :
Yes, it is possible to happen to males of any age. However, someone your age with prostate cancer would be highly unusual. The average age at diagnosis is 70, so it is largely a disease of older men.
9 :
In a 17 year old CAP would be RARE. The most common type being rhabdomyosarcoma, not the typical CAP you read about. The most common presenting symptom would be inablilty to urinate.
10 :
I'm a nurse. Yes anything is possible. It could also be something else, see a doctor.

yes

Possible; yes. Likely; no. If you are concerned, go see your doctor.
14 :
yes but rare... wanna know how to prevent prostate cancer? jack off!!!! i am not joking!
15 :
You are 17! 17 is the most masturbating year of an adolescent's life. Keep it up and you will have prevented it.
16 :
Sure, but why do you ask? Look on a medical info website, and see if you have any symptoms. Quite rare for a guy your age to get prostate cancer, mostly older guys, 50's or more.
