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 Androgenetic alopecia at various ages and prostate cancer risk in an equal-access multiethnic case–control series of veterans
Early balding, especially frontal, increases prostate cancer risk; more research needed.
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 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 Possible association between androgenic alopecia and risk of prostate cancer and testicular germ cell tumor: a systematic review and meta-analysis
Baldness, especially at the front, may lower the risk of testicular cancer by 31%, but its link to prostate cancer is unclear.
research DEFINING THE ROLE OF ABI1 GENE IN PROSTATE CANCER PROGRESSION AND TREATMENT RESISTANCE
The ABI1 gene contributes to prostate cancer progression and treatment resistance.
research Hétérogénéité tumorale du cancer de la prostate et infection par le SARS-CoV2 : une relation complexe impliquant les vésicules extracellulaires et le récepteur des androgènes
Extracellular vesicles and androgen receptors may help identify prostate cancer resistance and reduce SARS-CoV-2 infection.
research Lower prostate cancer risk in Swedish men with the androgen receptor E213 A-allele
Swedish men with the E213 A-allele of the androgen receptor have a lower risk of prostate cancer.
research How not to detect prostate cancer
Using a single PSA level to decide on a prostate biopsy is not effective; a more personalized approach considering various factors is recommended.
research Abiraterone and spironolactone in prostate cancer: a combination to avoid
Don't combine abiraterone and spironolactone for prostate cancer treatment as it may worsen the disease.
research Finasteride Inhibits Human Prostate Cancer Cell Invasion through MMP2 and MMP9 Downregulation
Finasteride may reduce prostate cancer spread by lowering certain enzyme levels.
research Effect of Saw Palmetto Supplements on Androgen-Sensitive LNCaP Human Prostate Cancer Cell Number and Syrian Hamster Flank Organ Growth
Saw palmetto supplements may reduce prostate cancer cell growth without being toxic.
research Hormonal treatment for male-pattern hair loss: implications for cancer of the prostate?
Finasteride treats hair loss but may affect prostate cancer detection.
research Comparison of Finasteride and Dutasteride on Risk of Prostate Cancer in Patients with Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia: A Pooled Analysis of 15 Real-world Databases
Dutasteride and finasteride have similar effects on prostate cancer risk in BPH patients.
research The Dark Side of 5α-Reductase Inhibitors' Therapy: Sexual Dysfunction, High Gleason Grade Prostate Cancer and Depression
5α-reductase inhibitors can cause sexual problems, higher risk of aggressive prostate cancer, and depression.
research Androgen Deprivation Therapy in Prostate Cancer: Focusing on Sexual Side Effects
Androgen Deprivation Therapy for prostate cancer often reduces sexual function but intermittent therapy may be more tolerable.
research Androgen Receptor Mutations and Polymorphisms in African American Prostate Cancer
African American men with prostate cancer have more androgen receptor mutations, which may lead to more aggressive cancer compared to Caucasian American men.
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 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 Are PSA adjustments necessary for prostate cancer screening in men taking finasteride for hair loss?
Finasteride for hair loss lowers PSA levels, so PSA values need adjusting when screening for prostate cancer.
research Redefining hormone resistance in prostate cancer
The conclusion suggests that prostate cancer should be classified by castration status and that new therapies targeting androgen receptor signaling show promise.
research Risk factors for prostate cancer: An umbrella review of prospective observational studies and mendelian randomization analyses
Physical activity, height, and smoking affect prostate cancer risk.
research Recent discoveries and developments of androgen receptor based therapy for prostate cancer
New treatments for prostate cancer are less toxic and show promise, but more research is needed to enhance their effectiveness and reduce side effects.
research 1452 DETECTION RATE OF CLINICALLY INSIGNIFICANT PROSTATE CANCER INCREASES WITH REPEATING PROSTATE BIOPSIES
More prostate biopsies increase the chance of finding cancers that may not need treatment.
research Prospective investigation of risk factors for prostate cancer in the UK Biobank cohort study
Black ethnicity, prior PSA tests, enlarged prostate, and family history increase prostate cancer risk; Asian ethnicity, obesity, smoking, diabetes, and less sexual activity or no children decrease risk.
research Early-onset baldness and the risk of aggressive prostate cancer: findings from a case–control study
Men who start balding at age 20 may have a higher chance of getting aggressive prostate cancer.
research Association Between 5α-Reductase Inhibitors and Prostate Cancer Mortality
5α-reductase inhibitors may help with prostate cancer but could increase the risk of severe tumors, so careful use is advised.
