Can you get prostate cancer?

  If you are a woman, you will not get prostate cancer; but even so, there will always be men around you whom you care about as much as you care about yourself. So, can “he” get prostate cancer?  Although the incidence of prostate cancer among Chinese is considered low in the world, it has been increasing in the past few years. Prostate cancer is already the malignant tumor with the highest incidence and mortality rate in the genitourinary system of Chinese men. The five-year survival rate for early stage prostate cancer is close to 100%, but unfortunately, 68% of prostate cancers in China are diagnosed with distant metastases; internationally, the five-year survival rate for advanced metastatic prostate cancer does not exceed 28%.  This is the current situation.  The prostate gland is hidden deep inside the body, and there are no obvious symptoms of early cancer, and the symptoms of poor urination, increased nighttime urination, and perineal swelling do not necessarily mean prostate cancer.  The following questionnaire is the most comprehensive collection of risk factors that may be associated with the development of prostate cancer. It can estimate the risk of prostate cancer, that is, your current risk of getting prostate cancer is about one or several times higher than that of the general population. The results are only estimates, and most people get a few percent or even a few percent or less; however, if the score is several times higher, it is best to go to the hospital for a medical screening test, such as a blood test to check the prostate-specific antigen PSA, or an anal exam by a doctor, etc.  According to this questionnaire, my current risk of prostate cancer is 1/100th of that of the general population; most prostate cancer patients have a risk of prostate cancer that is 10 times or even 100 times higher than that of the general population before the onset of the disease.  Now, take a look at your risk of developing the disease.
