What are the causes of prostate cancer?

Prostate cancer is caused by the changes that can take place in the DNA of a prostate cancer cell. DNA makes up our genes, which control how cells behave. DNA is inherited from our parents.

A small percentage (about 5% to 10%) of prostate cancers is linked to these inherited changes. Prostate cancer may also be linked to higher levels of certain hormones. Gh levels of male hormones (androgens) may play a part in prostate cancer risk in some men.

Some researchers have also noted that men with high levels of a hormone called IGF-1 are more likely to get prostate cancer, too. But others have not found such a link. More research is needed in this area, I am told.

While it is not known exactly what causes prostate cancer, it is known that certain risk factors are linked to the disease. A risk factor is anything that increases a person's chance of getting a disease. Different cancers have different risk factors.

Some risk factors, such as smoking, can be controlled. Others, like a person's age or family history, can't be changed.

Skin cancer is caused from the sun or other exposure to ultraviolet radiation, such as tanning beds. You can get too much sun even in the winter, so it is very important to apply sun block to all exposed areas every time you go outside.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
