Family history of prostate cancer
Prostate cancer survivor
Prostate cancer is the most common cancer in Australian men. It will affect 1 in 6 men in their lifetime. Early detection is the best method of beating this disease. When detected early, there is a greater than 95% chance of 5-year survival. However, if it is detected late, this drops to less than a 25% chance. The key to early detection is understanding your risk factors and regular testing. Risk factors, such as family history(Fhx) and age, increase your likelihood of developing prostate cancer. For example, having a family history of prostate cancer can double your chance of developing this disease.
