Prostate cancer is an endemic problem in the western world. About 10% of men will get prostate cancer and approximately 4% die as a result. Studies of autopsies show that half of men over age 70 have some signs of prostate cancer, however these cancers are usually microscopic and are not detectable by clinical examination or biopsy.
A known family history of prostate cancer may increase your risk of getting the disease. If one close relative has prostate cancer then your risk is 2-3 times greater. With 2 or more, the risk is 8 times.
