Lung cancer biology differs between women and men, with women responding better to certain treatments.
research Finasteride
Finasteride helps increase or maintain hair in most men but can cause sexual side effects and should not be used by women, especially during pregnancy.
research Clinical characterization of men with long QT syndrome and torsades de pointes associated with hypogonadism: A review and pharmacovigilance study
Low testosterone in men is a risk factor for a specific heart rhythm issue, and testosterone treatment may help prevent it.
research Liposomal systems as drug delivery vehicles for dermal and transdermal applications
Liposomal systems show promise for delivering drugs through the skin but face challenges like high costs and stability issues.
research Hydroxysteroid Dehydrogenase (17β -HSD3, 17β-HSD5, and 3α-HSD3) Inhibitors:Extragonadal Regulation of Intracellular Sex Steroid Hormone Levels
Certain inhibitors can potentially treat prostate cancer and other hormone-dependent conditions by controlling sex hormone levels in cells.
research Recent Advances in the Chemistry and Pharmacological Activity of New Steroidal Antiandrogens and 5α-Reductase Inhibitors
New compounds show promise for treating hair loss, enlarged prostate, and prostate cancer, with some being more effective and having different side effects than current treatments.
research Impact of Medical Castration on Malignant Arrhythmias in Patients With Prostate Cancer
Medical castration in prostate cancer patients can increase the risk of serious heart rhythm problems, so it's important to monitor heart activity during treatment.
research Effect of estrogens on skin aging and the potential role of SERMs
Estrogens help reduce skin aging, and SERMs might offer similar benefits without the risks of hormone therapy.
research Pharmacology of antiandrogens
Antiandrogens affect androgen-dependent body functions and are used for various medical conditions, with some risks like fetus feminization, but new forms like 17α-propylmesterolone show promise for acne without systemic effects.
research Overexpression of aldo-keto reductase 1C3 (AKR1C3) in LNCaP cells diverts androgen metabolism towards testosterone resulting in resistance to the 5α-reductase inhibitor finasteride
Too much AKR1C3 enzyme causes resistance to finasteride by increasing testosterone.
research A genome-wide association study of chemotherapy-induced alopecia in breast cancer patients
A specific gene variant is linked to a higher risk of hair loss from chemotherapy in breast cancer patients.
research CAG Repeat Testing of Androgen Receptor Polymorphism: Is This Necessary for the Best Clinical Management of Hypogonadism?
Testing for CAG repeat polymorphism in the androgen receptor gene is not currently recommended for managing hypogonadism.
research Venous thromboembolism and women's health
Women have a higher risk of blood clots from hormonal factors and need careful treatment, especially during pregnancy.
research Androgenetic alopecia and prostate cancer: findings from an Australian case-control study.
The conclusion is that there might be a link between certain types of baldness and prostate cancer, which could be due to shared hormonal pathways.
research An Update on Drug-Induced Pigmentation
Some drugs can cause skin and hair color changes, often reversible when the drug is stopped.
research Preliminary pharmacokinetics and metabolism of novel non-steroidal antiandrogens in the rat: Relation of their systemic activity to the formation of a common metabolite
Two non-steroidal antiandrogens, RU 58841 and RU 56187, form a common metabolite at different rates, which may influence their effects; RU 56187 could be used for prostate cancer treatment and RU 58841 for acne treatment.
research Role of 5 alpha-reductase inhibitors in the management of prostate cancer
5 alpha-reductase inhibitors like finasteride may lower prostate cancer risk and improve cancer screening.
research Oral minoxidil for late alopecia in cancer survivors
Oral minoxidil effectively improves hair regrowth in cancer survivors with late alopecia.
research Finasteride for prostatic disease: an updated and comprehensive review
Finasteride helps treat prostate issues and may prevent prostate cancer in high-risk men.
research Patient Preferences: Results of a German Adaptive Choice-Based Conjoint Analysis (Market Research Study Sponsored by Eli Lilly and Company) in Patients on Palliative Treatment for Advanced Breast Cancer
Patients prioritize quality of life, overall survival, and progression-free survival in treatment decisions for advanced breast cancer.
research Receipt of 5-Alpha Reductase Inhibitors Before Radical Cystectomy: Do They Render High-Grade Bladder Tumors Less Aggressive?
Taking 5-Alpha Reductase Inhibitors before bladder removal surgery might make high-grade bladder tumors less aggressive.
research Chemotherapy-related adverse effects with anthracycline and taxane-containing regimens in patients with localized Breast cancer: a descriptive study
Anthracycline and taxane chemotherapy cause significant side effects like fatigue, vomiting, nausea, nerve damage, joint pain, and hair loss in breast cancer patients.
