research 5α-Reductase type 2 gene variant associations with prostate cancer risk, circulating hormone levels and androgenetic alopecia
A49T gene variant linked to higher prostate cancer risk, lower hormone levels, and slightly reduced balding risk.
research Prostate cancer incidence among finasteride and alpha-blocker users in the Finnish Prostate Cancer Screening Trial
Finasteride might lower the risk of low-grade prostate cancer but not high-grade cancer, while alpha-blockers might reduce high-grade cancer risk.
research Androgenic alopecia is not useful as an indicator of men at high risk of prostate cancer
Baldness at age 40 is not linked to a higher risk of aggressive prostate cancer.
research 342 COMPARISON OF THE INCIDENCE OF SECONDARY CANCERS AFTER IMRT, BRACHYTHERAPY AND SURGERY FOR THE TREATMENT OF PROSTATE CANCER
Different prostate cancer treatments have similar risks of secondary cancers and related mortality when considering patient age and smoking history.
research 341 ANDROGENETIC ALOPECIA AT VARIOUS AGES AND PROSTATE CANCER RISK IN AN EQUAL ACCESS MULTIETHNIC CASE CONTROL SERIES OF VETERANS
Early baldness increases prostate cancer risk, radiotherapy and surgery have similar second cancer rates, and ALA may reduce prostate cancer risk.
research Imaging prostate cancer (PCa) with [99m Tc(CO)3 ]finasteride dithiocarbamate
A new compound was effective for imaging prostate cancer in rats.
research Increased DHT levels in androgenic alopecia have been selected for to protect men from prostate cancer
Higher DHT in male baldness may protect against prostate cancer.
research Relationship Between Male Pattern Baldness and the Risk of Aggressive Prostate Cancer: An Analysis of the Prostate, Lung, Colorectal, and Ovarian Cancer Screening Trial
Men with baldness at the front and top of their head at age 45 may have a higher risk of aggressive prostate cancer.
research Prostate-Sparing Effects in Primates of the Potent Androgen 7α-Methyl-19-Nortestosterone: A Potential Alternative to Testosterone for Androgen Replacement and Male Contraception1
MENT could be a better option than testosterone for male hormone therapy and birth control because it works well at lower doses and has fewer side effects on the prostate.
research Risk factors for prostate cancer: a case-control study investigating selected key exposures and their interactions with predisposition genes
Age, race, family history, and certain genetic factors increase prostate cancer risk.
research 1406 DETECTION OF MEMBRANE ANDROGEN-BINDING SITE IN LIVING RAT PROSTATE AND EVALUATION OF ITS ROLE IN PROSTATE BLOOD FLOW REGULATION
The research found that androgens help control blood flow in the rat prostate through a specific binding site.
research Causal associations between plasma proteins and prostate cancer: a Proteome-Wide Mendelian Randomization
Certain plasma proteins are linked to prostate cancer risk and could help in early detection and treatment.
research Hair, Hormones, and High-Risk Prostate Cancer
Men with a certain baldness pattern at age 40-50 may have a higher risk of aggressive prostate cancer.
research Androgen receptor: A promising therapeutic target in breast cancer
The androgen receptor is a promising target for breast cancer treatment, especially in triple-negative cases, but more research is needed for personalized therapies.
research Apocrine sweat gland obstruction by antiperspirants allowing transdermal absorption of cutaneous generated hormones and pheromones as a link to the observed incidence rates of breast and prostate cancer in the 20th century
The document suggests that blocking sweat glands with antiperspirants might allow skin-generated hormones to be absorbed, possibly increasing breast and prostate cancer risk.
research Male Pattern Baldness in Relation to Prostate Cancer–Specific Mortality: A Prospective Analysis in the NHANES I Epidemiologic Follow-up Study
Men with male pattern baldness have a higher risk of dying from prostate cancer.
research Intraethnic variation in steroid-5-alpha-reductase polymorphisms in prostate cancer patients: a potential factor implicated in 5-alpha-reductase inhibitor treatment
Genetic differences within ethnic groups may affect prostate cancer treatment effectiveness.
research Prostate cancer risk and recurrence: the role of nutrition and clinical aspects
Higher cholesterol levels increase aggressive prostate cancer risk.
research S87 Image guided radiotherapy (IGRT) in stage III prostate cancer: analysis of acute toxicity
IGRT resulted in lower acute toxicity for stage III prostate cancer patients.
research Combined oral contraceptives promote androgen receptor and oestrogen receptor alpha upregulation in the female prostate (Skene’s paraurethral glands) of adult gerbils (Meriones unguiculatus)
Birth control pills increase certain receptor activities in female gerbil prostate glands and can lead to prostate changes.
research RE: EFFECT OF THE DUAL 5α-REDUCTASE INHIBITOR DUTASTERIDE ON MARKERS OF TUMOR REGRESSION IN PROSTATE CANCER
Dutasteride may help shrink prostate cancer tumors.
research Androgenetic alopecia at various ages and prostate cancer risk in an equal-access multiethnic case–control series of veterans
