Prostate cancer does not affect every male.

No, not every man gets prostate cancer. Prostate cancer is a relatively common cancer in men, but it is not an inevitable condition. The risk of developing prostate cancer increases with age, and certain risk factors can also play a role in its development. However, many men will never develop prostate cancer during their lifetime.

It's essential for men to be aware of the risk factors and undergo regular screenings, especially as they get older. Some risk factors for prostate cancer include age (risk increases with age), family history of prostate cancer, African-American ethnicity (higher risk than other ethnic groups), and certain lifestyle factors.

Early detection and timely treatment significantly improve the chances of successful outcomes in prostate cancer cases. Therefore, regular check-ups with a healthcare provider and discussions about screening options are essential for men, particularly those with risk factors or a family history of the disease.
