Risk Factors
A definitive cause of prostate cancer has not been established. However, the risk of getting prostate cancer is affected by age and family history, as reflected in the prostate health of male relatives such as fathers, brothers, and uncles. Smokers and workers exposed to cadmium are also at a higher risk of prostate cancer, as are men who have undergone a vasectomy. Other risk factors include a diet high in animal fat but low in fibre. High circulating levels of testosterone have also been noted in those with prostate cancer.
Sexual activity is not a risk factor.
