Theoretically possible, but extraordinarily unlikely. Why do you ask? As an addendum, comment about must be at least 45 not true; see here for a living example: http://www.thefreelibrary.com/Facing+Cancer:+From+Victim+to+Survivor%3B+One+of+America's+Youngest...-a090759939 Having mentioned that, it is true that prostate cancer is mainly a disease of older men (60's is frequently young).

No. It only happens to men 45 years of age or older.

Here is the lowdown on prostate cancer. My husband had it 3 years ago. He was 50 when he got it, and he had surgery and is cured of it now. ALL men will get prostate cancer IF they live long enough. If a man dies without it, it means he didn't live long enough to get it. MOST cases of prostate cancer are in men in their 40's and over. There are a few who get it in their 20's and 30's, but that's a bit rare. At 14, you need to quit worrying about this...you have virtually no chance of getting prostate cancer in your teens. Unless you have a family history of prostate cancer, don't worry about it until you are in your 30's, then make sure your yearly physicals include a prostate check. One important thing to remember...NO ONE needs to die from prostate cancer. It's one of the most treatable cancers there is, and also the slowest growing cancer. Don't worry about it now....just make sure when you get older you get your prostate checked every year!

I would have to say yes. Chances are not very strong. Getting diagnosed at age 51 was only 2%. I would rather win the lottery.
