Honestly...Sex...yep that is right, studys have shown that having lots of sex reduces the risk of getting prostate cancer. However don't be an idiot and go have unprotected sex though. Then you would just die at a young age of AIDs or something instead of prostate cancer.

Actually teenagers are more likely to have different types of cancer more related to their age than older people. In other words if you are looking out for prostate cancer as adolescent you might totally miss the signs of osteosarcoma on a shoulder or leg. Prostate cancer generally is a cancer of older men. Testicular cancer, however, is a real possibility for young males starting about the age of 15 years old. The only 'preventive measure' an adolescent can take include learning which cancers you are more likely to get and paying attention to your body . . most of the time the only warning you will get is an odd lump or bump located anywhere in or on the body. Teens should see a doctor on a yearly basis and make sure to point out anything unusual. Here are the most common adolescent cancers and the ones any teen should be looking out for: Leukemia - blood Lymphoma - lymph nodes Osteosarcoma - bone Ewings Sarcoma - bone Brain Tumor - brain Soft Tissue sarcoma - tendons, muscles Germ Cell Tumor (Testicular or Ovarian Cancers) Malignant Melanoma - skin Perhaps one day the medical community will begin to educate adolescents and young adults about the types of cancer they are more likely to get. It is fairly unusual for teens to get lung cancer, breast cancer, colon cancer, or prostate cancer . . . but those are the only cancers you ever hear about. Those are diseases, in general, of older people.
