There is no single cause of prostate cancer. However, there are some factors that make developing prostate cancer more likely.<\/p>\n

Age:<\/strong> The chance of getting prostate cancer rises quickly after a man reaches age 50, and almost two out of three prostate cancers are found in men over 65ii. Age is the most important factor for prostate cancer.<\/p>\n

Race:<\/strong> It isn\u2019t known why, but prostate cancer is more common in men of African or Caribbean descent and less common in men of Asian descent.<\/p>\n

Family history:<\/strong> Your risk of prostate cancer is increased if close family members have had the disease.<\/p>\n

Diet:<\/strong>: Men who eat a low-fibre, high-fat diet have a higher rate of prostate cancer. Research suggests that saturated fat (commonly found in processed foods, whole-milk dairy products and fatty cuts of meat) increases the production of the hormone testosterone, which may help prostate cancer cells grow.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s still possible to develop prostate cancer even when none of these risk factors are present.<\/p>\n
