Introduction: Prostate cancer has the second most malignancy after lung cancer. In the male population, this prostate cancer is also one of the leading causes of death. This study would like to determine the correlation between the age factor over 50 years with the level of malignancy of prostate cancer.

Meanwhile, there were 39 patients (23.1%) aged > 70 years, and 38 patients (22.5%) aged 50-60 years. There is no significant correlation between the age of patients over 50 years old with the degree of malignancy of prostate cancer (χ2= 3.225; p-value = 0.199). The results of the examination also showed that the most malignant cancer was found in patients aged 61-70 years (7.0%), followed by patients over 70 years old and 50-60 years old, 2.3% and 0.6%, respectively.
