My husband didn’t have a vasectomy and no one in his family has had it, and he got prostate cancer at 50.
He was even vegan for the 3 years prior to that in an effort to lower his cholesterol, and prostate cancer loves fat.
Don’t know why he got it.
Other theories are when guys carry their cellphones in their pockets. Or that the prostate gets burned out from porn addiction (not to accuse your Husband of course). It has been suggested that the slowing of the sex drive (less sex in later years) leads to a stagnation as well. I am constantly hearing commercials about prostate cancer this and that and even have to wonder if that has something to do with it (a mind over matter type thing ((or auto suggestion)) He whom you fear awaits you, comes to mind. Dunno, but I am of the age to have to wonder now.

Th study at the link just addresses aggressive prostate cancer and not prostate cancer risks for men.
What are the risk factors for prostate cancer?

Risk factors for prostate cancer
We don’t know exactly what causes prostate cancer. But research shows that some factors may affect your risk. We are still unclear about the link between some of these factors and prostate cancer risk.
Your risk of prostate cancer may be affected by
• Age
• A family history of cancer
• Genes
• Ethnicity
• Having cancer in the past
• Calcium in your diet
• Height and body weight
• Hormones
• IGF-1 (insulin like growth factor)
• Vasectomy
• Cadmium
• Inflammation of the prostate
