Men Who Are Sexually Active in Their 20s Have Higher Risk of Prostrate Cancer
Prostrate cancer is most common cancer in men in the UK. Every year about 30,000 cases diagnosed with prostrate cancer.
The researcher enquired 800 men. Out of these 800 men 400 diagnosed with prostrate cancer and 409 men were free of these disease.
They were asked question like how often they are sexually active, how sex partners they had and whether they are diagnosed with sexually transmitted disease or not.
About two-fifths of the prostate cancer group had had six female partners or more, compared with less than a third of the non-cancer group.
In another result, it was found that 40% men in cancer group are sexually active in their 20's compared to 32% in non-comparative group.
The research team led by Dr Polyxeni Dimitropoulou.
