Cirrhosis does not spread or cause prostate cancer.
2 :
No. Cirrhosis is a disease of the liver only.
3 :
Cirrhosis isn't cancer. It is a replacement of healthy liver cells with what basically amounts to scar tissue. The only cure is a liver transplant but it can be treated to manage the symptoms, which can include; bruising and bleeding, jaundice, hepatic encephalopathy, liver cancer (can cause cancer, but it isn't cancer), low blood supply to the kidneys and other things. So to sum it up--yes cirrhosis can cause problems for other organs but it isn't cancer and the cirrhosis itself doesn't spread it can just cause other problems in the body.

Cirrhosis is Liver disease ,it can not cause prostate cancer. Prostate cancer can spread to liver and will give clinical ascities and other symptoms of liver involvement.
5 :
Cirrhosis is a liver disease that affects the liver. Cirrhosis is caused by Alcohol abuse and Chronic Hepatitis B and C. Cirrhosis brings cancer of the liver not cancer of the prostate gland. Cirrhosis is called scarring of the liver. a condition where the liver cells are replaced by scar that causes long term chronic liver disease. your health question is irrelevant for anybody to answer at yahoo answers.

No i dont believe so. I think thats a separate problem. But if you are un-healthy..having cirrhosis, you are most at risk for developing prostate cancer. But to cause it directly, doubtful.
