A member asked:
Is it possible to have prostate cancer in your 20s?
4 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
No: Although anything is possible in life, prostate cancer does not occur in patients who are in their twenties. Prostate cancer generally develops later in life, usually starting the in 40's and the frequency gradually increases with every decade of life.

Yes: Really doubt it- but after you hit puberty, it is possible. The youngest person i saw was nearly 40.
