Finasteride reduces prostate cancer risk by 30% without affecting Gleason scores.
research Impact of Clinical Response on Different Approved Doses in Japan and the United States
Different drug doses approved in Japan and the U.S. are not mainly due to different clinical responses, and ethnic factors should be considered in setting drug doses.
