CAUSES OF PROSTATE CANCER:

Factors linked to aging and changes in the cells of the prostate may have a role in the growth of the gland, as well as testosterone levels.

RISK FACTORS:
Being male.
Being Black/ Hispanic race.
Family history of prostate or breast cancer

SCREENING:
1. PSA ( Prostate specific antigen Test) .
Elevated blood PSA levels MAY point towards prostate cancer.
2. Digital re**al examination for Prostate gland. The examining finger may feel for signs of prostate cancer.
3. Other screening methods include Ultrasound scanning, CT scan etc.

TREATMENT:
With early diagnosis and treatment, prostate cancer is often highly curable. Many people diagnosed when the cancer hasn't spread beyond their prostate go on to live normal, cancer-free lives for several years following treatment.

DISEASE AGGRESSION:
If you're Black or you have a close relative with prostate cancer, they jump up at age 40.
About two-thirds of all prostate cancers are diagnosed in men aged 65 and older. But the older you are, the less aggressive the disease is, especially after age 70.
