wat r the chances of a teen gettin cancer in the prostate

What are the chances of a teenager gettin prostate cancer?
The chances are slim to none. I am a cancer registrar and have never seen a single one.
Reply:Never heard of any cases. Is there a reason your asking this- are you experiencing any symptoms?
Reply:It is a disease that affects older men, maybe past 30 in rare cases most often near 40. Your lifestyle and whether your family has a history of it are the main things, eating rich/spicy foods are a factor for getting it that much I know
Reply:if its a girl zero...if a guy chances are unknown. prostate ca is usually a very slow developing ca, usually getting men in their 50's or later. But it can strike young men also and then there are some types that grow very very quickly so the answer is who knows? if it is you that is concerned then get a PSA blood test
