My Grand father had a prostate cancer. Doctors treated him via surgery and after time of surgery he died. My father has enlarged prostate . He takes medicine to avoid prostate surgery. how long can he avoid surgery ? Both of my fahter and gradfather are addicted to dairy such as milk and curd/yogurt. What are the chances of me contracting that cancer? any precautions? i am not very much fond of milk and curd.
Hi, Thanks for writing in. Early diagnosis and treatment is the best for people who have prostate cancer in family. I suggest that after age 50 years you get prostate specific antigen (PSA) test done every year to monitor PSA level increase. You must also get ultrasound scan of prostate done regularly. Any back pain must be investigated. Hope this helps
