A question about Benign Prostate Hypertrophy?

I found in the text book That BPH is more found in central part of the prostate gland while carcinoma of prostate is found more on prepheral side.
Could someone plz give me reason for this…..

Basically Prostate is divided in two parts anatomically. Central and peripheral. Peripheral part of prostate is highly vascular and hence CA or carcinoma of prostate is of peripheral part. Regarding BPH it is a result of reduced testosterone levels at older age.
