Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia (BPH) does not lead to prostate cancer. BPH is a non-cancerous enlargement of the prostate gland, while prostate cancer is a separate condition. However, symptoms of BPH and prostate cancer may be similar, so it's important to consult a healthcare professional for accurate diagnosis and treatment.
