My dad had it at age 57 but it was so small it wasn't even worth treating. However the first doctor was getting ready to do all sorts of stuff to him in order to "treat" it. Fortunately my mom sought a second opinion first.

In the end he died 10 years later from an aneurysm having received zero treatment for the prostate cancer.

Or if you are in the Northwest:
