What are the chances of developing adenocarcinoma, prostate?
The odds of developing prostate cancer increased 1.6-fold as the age at the time of first menses decreased by 5 years. However, an individual's risk of developing adenocarcinoma was low. Although prostate cancers were more common in the first-degree relatives of men with prostate cancer than in the controls (odds ratio, 1.95; p < 0.01), this increase was offset by a very low incidence of high-risk, Stage T3 adenocarcinomas (incidence ratio, 0.12; p < 0.01).
