Does prostate cancer run in families?

Yes. Some families just have a higher risk of prostate cancer than other families. The normal risk of getting prostate cancer some time in your life is 1 in 13. Having one or more close relatives (father or brother) who got prostate cancer under the age of 70 increases your risk by two or three times (i.e. your lifetime risk is between 1 in 7 and 1 in 4).
