I've been told that Prostate Cancer is something that WILL happen in all males, is this true

I've been told that Prostate Cancer is something that WILL happen in all males, is this true?
Meaning like genetics don't mean anything. Will this happen to all males like a period will come to all females?

No it is NOT true.
2 :
No. There are plenty of men that live out their lives without prostate cancer.
3 :
That's definitely NOT true, young man. I'm 69 years old and never had prostrate cancer.
4 :
no just watch your pissing habbits
5 :
No, no one can know if they will get cancer or not.
6 :
how can anyone predict what will happen too you we could tell you you will be run over by a car this weekend will you believe us they are making great progress on prostate cancer and we think it will be the other way around in the near future it will be rare too get it
7 :
Mike, Horse-hockey! Prostate Cancer still affects a small population of males. There is genetic predisposition, and PC runs in family lines. If you are athletic, and sexually active, you have less chance of developing it. PC is on the rise however, and is striking younger guys. Many believe this is due to environmental exposure to chemicals that mimc hormones in the male body. If you are a young guy (teens ,early 20's), then you need to be concentrating on Testicular cancer and checking your balls.
8 :
Yes if all males have lifespan of 200 years.
9 :
No. But we are all likely to get benign hyperplasia or enlargement of the Prostate gland from middle age onwards. It actually could have something analogous with the famale memopause (when periods stop). Dcotors like people to report symptoms early so that any real cancers can be caught while they are more easily treatable. Commonsense.
10 :
NO...! . Enlarged or other issues..? Could be.. . There is NO reason men will get this form of cancer over any other, however, this gland is HIGHLY used all during a males life from 16 to 60 and up. . Every time you have a orgasm, IT is the thing that produces most of the white stiff that gets spit on floor, washed down the shower drain or captured in a Goodyear.. Like other parts of the body, there are 2 camps here. 1 that says it's good to exercise the gland, and often, then 2, the ones who say it's bad for you.. . I tend to drift into camp #1's thought. However, nature is more wicked and un fair than just about anything here. Just as a women (most anyhow) are getting into their prime sexual active years, high 30's to mid 50's, many men are now declining from mid their mid 40's and up. . While a womans sexual drive is YaHoo, geddie up lil doggie as they get older, men's lil doggie just don't wanna come out n play too much any more. The mind may be active, but the body isn't. ED is more common and a worse curse than prostate cancer. . When men no longer can get it up to do anything, many just slip into their man caves and drink beer, cuss a lot and become armchair sports figures. Some go fishing or buy a bright red sports car. . Fact is, the gland is no longer being used, flushed out, and the fluid it makes now just sets there to be slowly re-absorbed back into the body, hopefully. My belief is, this fluid, just setting, is bad for the gland and it needs to be emptied, often, especially in active men. If it just sets, like anything else, it's not good and problems may occur. .
11 :
What absolute rubbish! Where DO you people get this nonsense from ! ! !
12 :
Definitely not. That logic is flawed. Provided you take good care of your health and wellbeing, you should have good functioning organs for your whole life.

Can masturbation reduce the risk of prostate cancer

Can masturbation reduce the risk of prostate cancer?
Just wondering.
Men's Health - 11 Answers
Random Answers, Critics, Comments, Opinions :
1 :
Yes, ejaculation 21 + times a month can reduce the chances of getting Prostate cancer up to 70 percent. and, it feels good so why not have sex/masturbate!
2 :
Only if you do it more than 5 times a day.
3 :
Cancer is a Genetic thing and masturbation has no clinical effect of it.
4 :
wow i guess im never gona get prostate cancer. lol
5 :
Actually, it goes up 1000%. Stop while you're ahead.
6 :
no it doesn't it increases the risk by 30 %
7 :
There was a scientific study done in the past couple of years about this subject. The study found that men you ejaculated a lot in life had a significantly greater change of NOT getting prostate cancer. It seems that when we ejaculate certain substances are removed from the prostate (I don't know what they are). By not ejaculating often these substances accummulate over the years and create a place for cancer to occur. So go wank and enjoy!
8 :
Men over age 50 who masterbate at least 3 times a week are 75% less likely to get prostate cancer than those who masterbate less or not at all.
9 :
simply put yes, so do it all u want
10 :
According to a team of researchers in Australia led by Dr. Graham Giles, males who masturbated most often when they were in their teens and 20s had the least incidence of prostate cancer later. They did this study by asking a group of men with prostate cancer and an age-matched group without prostate cancer how often they had masturbated and had sexual intercourse at various times in their lives. They found that the males whose sexual outlet when they were young was primarily masturbating were better off than those whose sexual outlet was primarily intercourse. They speculated that by engaging in sexual intercourse, those men were exposing themselves to STDs that also put their prostate at risk. So one of the surprising findings of this research is that ejaculating by masturbating is better than ejaculating by intercourse, at least for males without a monogamous partner. Who woulda thunk it?! Dr. Giles recommends that males masturbate at least six times a week. So why has he not been given the Nobel prize for medicine?
11 :
there has been no conclusive evidence regarding that...

can dogs get testecular or prostate cancer if they are nootered

can dogs get testecular or prostate cancer if they are nootered?
so yah can they?
Dogs - 5 Answers
Random Answers, Critics, Comments, Opinions :

1 :
If they are "neutered", they cannot get testicular cancer because there are NO testicles. They can still get prostate cancer, but the chances are less.
2 :
Without testicles they cannot get testicular cancer (neutering removes both testicles). Neutered males can still get Prostate cancer, but the chances are slim to none.
3 :
As the others have pointed out, a dog can not get testicular cancer if he doesn't have testicles. So no, there is absolutely NO chance that a neutered dog could possibly have testicular cancer. Neutered dogs do still have a prostate and therefor CAN develop prostate cancer. However, it is very rare in neutered dogs.
4 :
A dog loses his testiculars when he's neutered, so he can't get testicular cancer. He can get prostate cancer, but the risk is much lower. Yes, I said testiculars. It's a Jeff Foxworthy thing.
5 :
It cant get testicular cancer because it doesn't have any testicles. and it greatly cuts down on the risk of getting prostate cancer

Obama is working hard to bring the U.S. closer to those numbers.

I don't think anyone is arguing the quality of care in the US. It's the cost that's the problem. I don't agree with the approach of the current administration, but the cost problem shouldn't be ignored.

Funny that we don't hardly see any complaints from those countries who have socialised health care, especially when this forum is open to the rest of the world. Your for profit system sucks, medical debt is the biggest cause of bankruptcy in the US, which in its self is retarded, as are your ridiculous statistics!!!
12 :
At least my dumb ass knows how to phrase my point into the form of a "question"? You are speaking to someone here,me,that currently has to file for bankruptcy even though I carried the best insurance that money can buy! This is because I had to go into the hospital recently. HELLO! But Glenn, I'm sure you can afford any hospital bill without insurance since you have invented your unique neo-con "the sky is falling" style of "rake in the money" broadcasting.
13 :
"I can make up numbers, too. Clearly you don't know much about math because statistics can't go higher than 100%. Thanks for playing." You may be more important than me, but you also know less about math than you think Glenn Beck does. Multiples of 100% simply mean that the chances are multiplied by that amount. A 604% greater chance simply means that you have are 6.04 times more likely to die from prostate cancer in the UK than in the US. And to answer Glenn's question (which aparently the fool above me was unable to read), I reject ANY government control over the health care industry. I would roll back current controls, not increase them.

How can you tell if you have prostate problems or prostate cancer? What is a prostate?

you will have to go pee a lot. a prostate is what is above the blader
2 :
The prostate adds fluids to semen. Sometimes difficulty urinating is a clue, because it pushes on the urethra. A doctor can tell by feeling it with a gloved finger inserted in the anus.
3 :
The prostate is the gland that provides most of the liquid for the ejaculate. Prostrate problems exhibit themselves when you have difficulty urinating (small stream, no pressure) and/or frequent urination. To see if one has prostrate cancer, one must get a test done by a physician

How long does someone have to live if they have prostate cancer

how long does someone have to live if they have prostate cancer?
my husband has prostate cancer and wont get it fixed i was wondering how long he has to live
Cancer - 9 Answers
Random Answers, Critics, Comments, Opinions :
1 :
There is no way of knowing for sure. It can be a few month's to a few years.
2 :
If he is not going for the treatment, then it will depend on how healthy he was to start with and how lucky he was. My brother-in-law was only given a couple of months. Both his sons had time to impregnate their wives and deliver grandchildren before he died. I think he went almost 18 months.
3 :
It depends on how soon it is recognized. If biopsies confirm that the cancer hasn't spread from the prostate gland, than there is an excellent chance for recovery with either surgery or various forms of radiation or even freezing the gland. It the cancer has metastasized, then chemo and hormone therapy may be an option. If it has metastasized to the bone, then if could be a matter of weeks or months, depending on when you first realized the extent of the cancer.
4 :
How foolish of him and how sad for you. It is done every day and the survival rate is great! He has to speak to his Dr. again. Try to make him realize what he is doing, not just to himself, but the whole family.
5 :
It varies from person to person. It all depends on what stage of cancer he is in.
6 :
There is no reason to die from prostate cancer. Your husband is fearful and/or selfish. Brachytherapy and radiation is the treatment I opted for. It was easy and relatively painless, and I am fully functional now. I expect to live for another 50 years. My treatment center: http://www.dattoli.com/
7 :
prostate cancer is the easiest cancer to cure - there must be a psychological reason he does not want to go through treatment Please sit down and talk with him or have him talk with someone professionally- it seems he has a death wish almost. call the American cancer society at 18002272345 get some info on prostate cancer let him read it let him see what the treatment is - has he talked to his doctor about the treatment- find out what is bothering him and try to assure him of it please- with this type of cancer if caught in time he does not need to die
8 :
My father has prostate cancer and his prognosis was BAD when he was first diagnosed (his PSA was 250 and it had already metastasized to his bones). However, he underwent hormone therapy (Lupron shots and Casodex) and he lived the next seven and a half years relatively healthy. Unfortunately, in Sept. of this year we learned the cancer has spread farther and he is in his final days, however, he FAR outlived everyone's expectations. Now, my girlfriend's father was diagnosed with prostate cancer at the same time as my father, it had not spread, he had surgery to remove it and he is healthy as a horse and cancer free.
9 :
Prostate cancer is fairly slow growing in it's early stages, dependingon how old he is and how advanced it was when he was first diagnosed he may still have many years left. A few have been known to live out their lives not knowing they had prostate cancer. Having said that, it is very curable so he'd benifit a great amount from having treatment (but of course you already know that). His health care team may have a better chance of convincing him to give treatment a try. If there's a particular type of treament he's worried about he probably doesn't even need to go though it as there are lots of different methods of curing prostate cancer. The one thing i would say is that, if the cancer becomes very advanced, it's going to cause him a lot more pain and suffering than any treament will do so, in my opinion, he's far better off being treated than suffering at the end.

Why does google have 34 million hits for breast cancer, and only 12 million for prostate cancer

Why does google have 34 million hits for breast cancer, and only 12 million for prostate cancer?
Point of fact: men are just as likely to get prostate cancer, as women are to get breast cancer.

Misandry, clearly.
2 :
Was *12 MILLION* not enough for you to find the information you need? Yeah, misandry...*Clearly.* What with only 12 million, it amounts to an all out conspiracy. Geez, I hope you people aren't in earnest.
3 :
Because the media talks about it more and people tend to accessorize it with pretty pink ribbons. That's why.
4 :
Mostly because of the total amount of research dollars that has gone into br. ca. research- both basic science and clinical. Much more money goes into br. ca. research and tons of money goes into very advanced screening modalities for breast cancer. A small fraction of the research dollars go into prostate research and the only screening we have is PSA and DRE (which cost about $1.22) compared to radiographic, US, MR that's used simply in the imaging of breast for screening, not to mention serologic assays in certain population. It's disgraceful, really.
5 :
It's a feminist conspiracy.
6 :
Because this is America!!!
7 :
It's all math, dude. Two breasts per woman. One prostate per man. You wouldn't argue math, would you? ='o(
8 :
cause breast cancer is more common then prostate cancer
9 :
One reason might be because men can get breast cancer, too. It is not a form of cancer that is exclusive to women.
10 :
Because breast cancer is the second most common form of cancer, right after the lung cancer with more than half of million deaths worldwide each year, it has nothing to do with the gender issues, after all men can get breast cancer too http://interesting-science-facts.blogspot.com/2009/03/interesting-science-facts-breast-cancer.html
