Prostate Cancer Self-Defense: Nine Deadly Myths
Myth: Only Old Men Get Prostate Cancer
Prostate cancer is more common in older men, but young men can get it too. In fact, men can develop the disease in their forties or even their thirties, says Dr. Lepor.

Screening beginning at age 40 is recommended for men at high risk for the disease, including African-Americans and those with a family history of the disease.
