Prostatatis: As far as medical science knows, prostatitis does not lead to prostate cancer. At your age, you might have not true prostatitis, but the male chronic pelvic pain syndrome -- which is uncomfortable but not harmful. Google CPPS (spell it out) for more information. The Wikipedia article is good, and there also is excellent information from the Stanford University dept of urology. Good luck!
