Family history
The males having a family history of prostate cancer are also more prone to developing prostate cancer. The chances of getting prostate cancer increases by two to three times due to the genetic predisposition of prostate cancer in males. The risks are also higher in men who have more family members having the condition of prostate cancer. The age of the relatives or family members at which they developed prostate cancer is also crucial for the estimation of your chances of developing prostate cancer. The closeness of the family members is also essential to consider, for example, if one of your immediate family males have prostate cancer, then your chances are higher.
