Prostate Cancer
Frequently Asked Questions
23. Are there genes that put me at greater
risk of getting prostate cancer?
Researchers are studying changes in genes that may increase the
risk for developing prostate cancer. Some studies are looking at
the genes of men who were diagnosed with prostate cancer at a
relatively young age, less than 55 years old, and the genes of
families who have several members with the disease. Other studies
are trying to identify which genes, or arrangements of genes, are
most likely to lead to prostate cancer. (Answer continues on
