Can young men also get prostate cancer?

Prostate cancer is mainly seen in older men, and younger men (younger than 40 years old) generally do not get prostate cancer.

Specifically:

Prostate cancer develops mainly in older men, and because of the slow progression of prostate cancer, the vast majority of new cases are over the age of 70, with a peak age between 75 and 80 years.

Of course, with advances in diagnostic technology, more and more patients are being diagnosed at an earlier age, resulting in a decreasing trend in the age of prostate cancer onset.

So, in general, younger men (less than 40 years old) do not get prostate cancer, but young adult men should not neglect prostate care, as chronic prostatitis is a common disease that occurs in younger men.
