Urologist Adam R. Miller warned that some men are significantly more likely to develop prostate cancer than others. He told Infobae who exactly is at high risk.

According to Miller, one of the main risk factors for developing this disease is age. Thus, older men should be especially careful about their health.

Family history also plays a significant role, the doctor continued. This means that if a man's close relatives have had prostate cancer, he is at increased risk. Genetics is also an important factor. "BRCA2 mutations, which are associated with some types of breast cancer, may also be associated with more aggressive prostate tumors," Miller explained.
