“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.”
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
My husband has none of those risk factors.
I do think he has led a very stressful lifestyle. He has been a workaholic and has never slept well or exercised. On top pf that, we have a special needs kid.
