Actually, a few years ago there was a study that analyzed the prostates of young men that had been killed in crashes (I don't remember the details but they might have been teenagers) and it was found that a very high percentage of even those had cancerous cells as well. Wish I could find the study but I seem to remember the number being higher than 25%. I think that if you are a guy, you should just assume that you have prostate cancer but with the understanding that it is usually so slow growing that in the end, you will probably die of something else. The problem with biopsies is that if nothing is found, it probably just means the mesh size was too large....if you search hard enough, you will eventually find something. The problem is that by the time something is found, there probably won't be much left of the prostate by then.
