Experts explain the factors related to the occurrence of prostate cancer

According to the latest survey by authoritative institutions, the number of prostate cancer patients in China and neighboring countries is increasing year by year, and prostate cancer threatens the health of more and more male friends. What are the common causes of prostate cancer ? Let's talk about the common causes of prostate cancer.

Common causes of prostate cancer include:

1. Family history: When there is a direct male relative in the family who has prostate cancer, the incidence rate of men in the family increases significantly. Direct male relatives generally refer to fathers and brothers. If one direct relative has prostate cancer, the probability of having prostate cancer is 1 times higher than that of the general population; if there are two, it will be 3 times higher. This indicates that the cause of prostate cancer may be related to one or a group of genes in the body, but these genes have not been fully identified by scientists so far.

2. Race: It is also a common cause of prostate cancer. The incidence of prostate cancer is highest among African Americans (i.e. American blacks), followed by Hispanics and American whites, while the incidence of prostate cancer among African blacks is the lowest in the world. The incidence of prostate cancer among Asian men living in the United States is lower than that of white men, but significantly higher than that of native Asian men.

3. Age: Prostate cancer is very rare in men under 45 years old, but the incidence of prostate cancer increases sharply with age, and the vast majority of prostate cancer patients are over 65 years old. Basically, the incidence of prostate cancer almost doubles with every 10 years of age after 40 years old. The risk of prostate cancer in men aged 50-59 is 10%, while the risk of prostate cancer in men aged 80-89 increases sharply to 70%. This is a common cause of prostate cancer.

The above is an explanation of the common causes of prostate cancer. I hope it will be helpful to everyone. Male friends must pay more attention to their physical health, try to prevent the occurrence of prostate cancer, and avoid the huge harm it brings.
