Has anyone developed a cancer after being diagnosed with BPH ? I am wondering if there is a risk in the future although it is noncancerous.

Thanks for your answers.

    I have both but I’ve never thought, been told, or heard the suggestion, that one can cause the other. As far as I know they are entirely separate conditions but are of course linked because of their location within the Prostate.

    There is always the possibility of developing PC. BPH is the prostate getting enlarged and doesn't mean that you have cancer, but you can still get cancer.
