Risk factors
The most common risk factors for prostate cancer include:
- Age. Your risk increases as you get older. You’re more likely to get diagnosed if you’re over 50 years of age. About 60% of prostate cancers occur in people older than 65.
- Race and ethnicity. Your risk is higher if you’re Black or of African ancestry, especially for aggressive cancers and those diagnosed before age 50.
- Family history of prostate cancer. You’re two to three times more likely to get prostate cancer if a close family member has it.
- Genetics. You’re at a greater risk if you have Lynch syndrome or if you inherited mutated (changed) genes associated with increased breast cancer risk (BRCA1 and BRCA2).
