"Family history is the strongest risk factor for prostate cancer," said Dr. Hery Tiera, Urologist at Pondok Indah hospital, Jakarta to Metrotvnews.com, recently.
The disease usually affected men above 50 years old. Another data from American Cancer Society mentions about six out of ten men above 65 years old have prostate cancer.
