It's not known exactly what causes prostate cancer, although a number of things can increase your risk of developing the condition.
These include:
age – the risk rises as you get older, and most cases are diagnosed in men over 50 years of age
ethnic group – prostate cancer is more common in black men than in Asian men
family history – having a brother or father who developed prostate cancer before age 60 seems to increase your risk of developing it; research also shows that having a close female relative who developed breast cancer may also increase your risk of developing prostate cancer
obesity – recent research suggests there may be a link between obesity and prostate cancer, and a balanced diet and regular exercise may lower your risk of developing prostate cancer
diet – research is ongoing into the links between diet and prostate cancer, and there is some evidence that a diet high in calcium is linked to an increased risk of developing prostate cancer
Very friendly polite staff and service is amazing lovely friendly staff indeed

Thank you for a quick turn around on some Libra Sensors for my father today, his original repeat prescription did not arrive, but after filling the correct forms we picked up the same day. Thank you so much....
