    The exact cause of prostate cancer is unknown but it is more common in men over 50, those with a family history, and those who are obese, have diabetes, smoke, or drink alcohol. Risk factors include hormone levels like estrogen and testosterone, as these can make prostate cells become sensitive to growth signals and replicate when binding to receptors, leading to hyperplasia and potentially cancer if cell growth is not regulated by apoptosis.
