750-780 / 1000+ results research Differential expression of steroid 5α-reductase isozymes and association with disease severity and angiogenic genes predict their biological role in prostate cancer
SRD5A1 is crucial in advanced prostate cancer, and blocking both SRD5A1 and SRD5A2 is more effective than targeting SRD5A2 alone.
research Baldness, benign prostate hyperplasia, prostate cancer and androgen levels
The study found no link between baldness patterns and androgen levels in men with benign prostate enlargement or prostate cancer.
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 Hormonal prevention of prostate cancer
Suppressing certain hormones might help prevent prostate cancer.
research Epidemiological study of prostate cancer (EPICAP): a population-based case–control study in France
Circadian rhythm disruption, chronic inflammation, hormones, metabolism, and genetics may increase prostate cancer risk.
research Analysis of quantitative changes in hair growth during treatment with chemotherapy or tamoxifen in patients with breast cancer: a cohort study
Chemotherapy causes hair loss starting soon after treatment begins and recovers about 3 months after ending, while tamoxifen does not significantly affect hair growth.
research Cervical cancer metastasis to the scalp presenting as alopecia neoplastica
A woman with cervical cancer had rare scalp metastasis causing a unique type of hair loss.
research Expanding phenotype of hereditary fibrosing poikiloderma with tendon contractures, myopathy, and pulmonary fibrosis caused by FAM111B mutations: Report of an additional family raising the question of cancer predisposition and a short review of early-onset poikiloderma
The document suggests a possible link between FAM111B gene mutations and increased cancer risk, particularly pancreatic cancer.
research First-line therapy with gemcitabine and paclitaxel in locally, recurrent or metastatic breast cancer: A phase II study
Gemcitabine and paclitaxel are effective and safe as first-line treatment for metastatic breast cancer.
research Bladder Cancer Survival of Men Receiving 5α-Reductase Inhibitors
Men taking 5-alpha-reductase inhibitors before or after bladder cancer diagnosis had a lower risk of dying from the disease.
research Male pattern baldness and risk of incident skin cancer in a cohort of men
Men with male pattern baldness have a higher risk of certain skin cancers, especially on the scalp.
research Persistent major alopecia following adjuvant docetaxel for breast cancer: incidence, characteristics, and prevention with scalp cooling
Scalp cooling effectively prevents severe hair loss in breast cancer patients treated with docetaxel and is safe.
research Persistently curly hair phenotype with the use of nivolumab for squamous cell lung cancer
A cancer patient's hair became permanently curly after treatment with nivolumab.
research Skin toxicity of anti‐cancer therapy
Anti-cancer treatments can cause reversible hair loss, skin sensitivity, pigmentation changes, nail damage, and skin reactions, with a need for more research on managing these side effects.
research Uncovering the complex relationship between balding, testosterone and skin cancers in men
Men with baldness are more prone to skin cancers on the scalp due to sun exposure, not testosterone.
research Cardiovascular effects of hormone therapy for prostate cancer
Hormone therapy for prostate cancer can increase heart risks, especially in men with heart conditions.
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 Lung Cancer Chemoprevention with Retinol Palmitate: Preliminary data from a randomized trial on stage la non small-cell lung cancer
Retinol palmitate may reduce cancer relapses in early-stage lung cancer patients.
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 Experimental Confirmation of a Distinctive Diffraction Pattern in Hair From Women With Breast Cancer
A specific hair diffraction pattern may indicate breast cancer if tested with the correct method.
research Skin cancer: understanding the journey of transformation from conventional to advanced treatment approaches
New treatments like nanotechnology show promise in improving skin cancer therapy.
research Pan-cancer analysis of microRNA expression profiles highlights microRNAs enriched in normal body cells as effective suppressors of multiple tumor types: A study based on TCGA database
Certain microRNAs found in normal cells can effectively suppress various cancers.
research Tamoxifen-Induced Female Androgenetic Alopecia in a Patient with Breast Cancer
Tamoxifen caused hair loss in a 52-year-old woman.
research Prevalence and associated factors of skin cancer in aged nursing home residents: A multicenter prevalence study
Skin cancer is common in elderly nursing home residents, with risk factors including being male, having light skin, outdoor work history, and smoking. Regular skin checks are recommended.
research Breast cancer resistance protein identifies clonogenic keratinocytes in human interfollicular epidermis
ABCG2 protein marks stem-like skin cells in human epidermis.
research Androgen Receptor Actions Modify Skin Structure and Chemical Carcinogen-induced Skin Cancer Susceptibility in Mice
Androgen receptor inactivation delays skin cancer onset and reduces incidence in mice, with gender differences in susceptibility.
research Risk factors for prostate cancer: a case‐control study in Greece
Urban living may increase prostate cancer risk, while early sexual activity might reduce it.
research Association of Spironolactone Use With Risk of Cancer
Spironolactone does not increase cancer risk and may lower prostate cancer risk, but more research is needed.
research Characterization of a Test for Invasive Breast Cancer Using X-ray Diffraction of Hair—Results of a Clinical Trial
Combining hair x-ray diffraction with mammography improves breast cancer detection.
