It is relatively common in people above 65 years of age, although people in their 50s may also suffer from the condition. It has become a major health concern around the world during the last few decades. It is reported to be the second most common cause of cancer in men worldwide and the fifth most common cancer overall[1]. It is the sixth leading cause of cancer mortality (deaths) in men globally. According to a 2015 study published in the journal Prostate International[1], it is expected that prostate cancer might lead to 1.7 million new cases of prostate cancer and 499,000 deaths by 2030.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Prostate Cancer In India<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The rate of incidence and the prevalence of prostate cancer varies across the world. It is highest in North America and lowest in South Asia. The incidence rates in India are less than one-tenth of the rates seen in the United States, however, there is a rising trend off late. According to a 2014 study titled \u201cEpidemiology of prostate cancer in India\u201d[2], it is the second leading cancer in men in four main Indian cities namely Delhi, Kolkata, Pune and Thiruvananthapuram. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The population-based cancer registries (PBCRs) of India showed a statistically significant increasing trend in the incidence of prostate rates in the past 20 years. The cancer projection data estimated that the number of cases will become alarmingly doubled by 2020[2]. This is the reason why every man in India should be aware of prostate cancer to diagnose it at an early stage and get it treated.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.1mg.com\/labs\/test\/psa-profile-32560\"><b>Click Here To Know About PSA Test For Prostate Cancer.

The gland is regulated by the hormone testosterone and produces prostate fluid, which is one of the components of seminal fluid or semen. When there is an abnormal growth in the prostate cells, it leads to prostate cancer. Cancer can spread to other parts of the body.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The exact cause of prostate cancer is not known. It might be related to numerous factors such as a family history of cancer, or diet. Age is one of the strongest risk factors for cancer in men as it accounts to around 85% of all cases of cancer in those aged over 65 years[3]. Some of the common risk factors of prostate cancer include:<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>1. Diet: <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Some experts believe that a diet rich in fats play a key role in increasing the risk of prostate cancer. \u00a0Men who consume a diet loaded with unhealthy fats such as red meat, and pork and cooked at high heat are more likely to develop cancer. This is because it causes the production of carcinogenic compounds which increase the risk of cancer in non-vegetarians[4]. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Moreover, it is also reported that excess fat stimulates the production of testosterone, which in turn acts on the prostate gland and stimulate its growth. High levels of testosterone can trigger abnormal division of prostate cells leading to cancer.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>2. High Body Mass Index (BMI):<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> \u00a0People with a BMI greater than 24.9 were twice at a higher risk for prostate cancer as compared to those with BMI less than 25[4]. Moreover, the association between metabolic syndrome and risk of prostate cancer was stronger in people who were overweight and obese (particularly those with BMI \u2265 27 kg\/m2). \u00a0As BMI is directly related to diet and physical activity, it might be possible that those who are obese (BMI greater than 24.9) are eating a high-fat diet and are probably less active.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.1mg.com\/categories\/-194?utm_source=articletrack&amp;utm_medium=Weight-Loss\"><strong>Weight Loss Is 99% Mental And 1% Physical. Start Your Journey Today. Click Here.<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<p><b>3. Pesticides: <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In India, a large section of men in rural areas are exposed to potentially harmful chemicals such as pesticides either occupationally or environmentally. Due to poor handling of these pesticides which contain carcinogenic compounds, it is known to cause toxicity and increase the risk of cancer. Moreover, exposure to organochlorine pesticides, which possess estrogenic properties, can also increase the risk of prostate cancer[4].<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>4. Family History:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> It is estimated that approximately 5-10% of cases are inherited. Genes could be responsible for around 40% of cases of cancer in men younger than 55 years of age. One of the genes that are shown to increase the risk is a recurrent mutation in the HOXB13 gene. Moreover, the risk increases further if you have fa irst-degree relative suffering from prostate cancer. The relative risk of a father to son is 2.5 times whereas that between siblings is 3.4 times[3].<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>5. Comorbid conditions:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Certain health problems can up your risk of prostate cancer. These include a clinical history of diabetes mellitus and hypertension. Studies[4] have reported that people who have a history of diabetes were four times at a higher risk of cancer as compared to those with normal blood glucose level. Also, the history of hypertension increased the risk of prostate cancer to threefold as compared to those with normal blood pressure readings[4].<\/span><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.1mg.com\/online-consultation?utm_source=articletrack&amp;utm_medium=consultation\"><b>**Consult India\u2019s best doctors here**<\/b><\/a><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In addition to this, there are certainly other factors that were known to up the risk of cancer such as smoking, alcohol, and vasectomy. However, there is inconclusive evidence on the association of lifestyle factors like chewing (betel leaf with or without tobacco, pan masala, gutka), smoking (bidi, cigarette) with prostate cancer[5].<\/span><\/p>\n<p><em>(The article is reviewed by <strong>Dr. Lalit Kanodia, General Physician<\/strong>)<\/em><\/p>\n<p><strong>Recommended Reads:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.1mg.com\/articles\/7-superfoods-healthy-prostate\/\"><strong>7 Superfoods For Healthy Prostate<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.1mg.com\/articles\/signs-of-prostate-cancer\/\"><strong>How do you know if you have Prostate Cancer?<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<p><b>References:<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">1.
