Is prostate cancer hereditary?

Considering that there are more and more patients with prostate cancer, the treatment methods for this disease are gradually diversified. It is recommended that patients choose appropriate treatment methods according to their prostate cancer condition, which is also very necessary for prostate cancer. So is prostate cancer hereditary?

Prostate cancer may be related to the patient's family genetics. In this case, the treatment of prostate cancer will be relatively difficult. However, if necessary treatment measures are taken, prostate cancer can be suppressed to a certain extent.
Relevant surveys show that if a person has prostate cancer, his children and other blood relatives will have a higher chance of getting prostate cancer than the average person. In other words, having a family history of prostate cancer will increase the chance of getting the disease.
According to relevant reports, Swedish male scientists conducted long-term observations on 5,595 fathers and found that male prostate cancer, like female breast cancer, has genetic characteristics.
