The statement regarding ethnicity being a risk factor for prostate cancer is accurate. Research indicates that certain ethnic groups exhibit a higher prevalence and mortality rate of prostate cancer. For instance, African American men are statistically more likely to develop prostate cancer compared to Caucasian and Hispanic men. This heightened risk is not entirely understood but may involve genetic, environmental, and lifestyle factors unique to different populations.

In contrast, the characterization of prostate cancer as "one of the less common forms of cancer" is misleading; it actually ranks as one of the most frequently diagnosed cancers among men. While cancer itself can have lethal outcomes, saying it is "commonly lethal" does not reflect the reality that many men diagnosed with prostate cancer can live for many years post-diagnosis, especially if caught early. Lastly, family history is indeed a recognized risk factor; men with a family history of prostate cancer are at increased risk, making the assertion about family history incorrect.
