Did You Know?
This statement is false. Having a first-degree relative (father, brother, or son) with prostate cancer increases a man's risk of developing the disease. The risk is approximately two to three times higher than for men with no family history. The risk increases further if multiple relatives are affected or if the relative was diagnosed at a young age. This indicates a strong hereditary component in some prostate cancers. Specific inherited gene mutations (such as in BRCA1, BRCA2, and HOXB13) have been identified in families with a high incidence of prostate cancer. Therefore, men with a positive family history are often advised to begin prostate cancer screening (with PSA and DRE) at an earlier age, typically around 40 or 45, compared to the general population.
