Does Prostate Age Make A Difference?

Prostate cancer is considered rare in men younger than 40, and usually occurs more frequently amongst men starting at about age 50 – Again, the most common age is 60. It depends on a number of factors, but age is significant in the diagnosis and the treatment of the disease.

“Different cancers have different risk factors. Some risk factors, like smoking, can be changed. Others, like a person’s age or family history, can’t be changed.”
