Prostate Cancer: 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. There are plenty of men that live out their lives without prostate cancer.

No, no one can know if they will get cancer or not.

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.

Yes if all males have lifespan of 200 years.

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.

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. .

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.
