research 1450 THE TRUE BENEFIT OF PSA-SCREENING: MODELING THE IMPACT OF TRIAL SETTING AND PROTOCOL ON MORTALITY
PSA screening's effectiveness in reducing prostate cancer deaths can vary based on trial design and participant compliance.
research Androgen Receptor Polymorphism-Dependent Variation in Prostate-Specific Antigen Concentrations of European Men
Certain genetic variants in the androgen receptor are linked to higher PSA levels, potentially affecting prostate cancer screening outcomes.
research NEURONAL MIMICRY AS A RESISTANCE PHENOTYPE IN CANCER CELLS
Low dose finasteride causes only small changes in PSA levels in older men with BPH.
research Faculty Opinions recommendation of Effect of 1 mg/day finasteride on concentrations of serum prostate-specific antigen in men with androgenic alopecia: a randomised controlled trial.
Taking 1mg of finasteride daily for hair loss can lower PSA levels by 40-50%, so to keep PSA effective as a cancer screening tool, the PSA value should be doubled during treatment.
research 5ARIs and PSA: Evidences
5ARIs lower PSA levels, but other tests are needed to avoid missing aggressive prostate cancer.
research Estimating the Effect of Finasteride on Kallikrein Marker Levels in Blood and the Use of Converted Markers in the Four-Kallikrein Model
Finasteride improves prostate cancer prediction by adjusting kallikrein marker levels.
research Clinical Pearls in Men's Health
The conclusion is that individualized treatment and proper medication use are crucial in men's health, with specific recommendations for ED, BPH, and prostate cancer management.
research How to Deal with the Issues of Fertility, Malignancies, and the Postfinasteride Syndrome while Prescribing Finasteride for Male Pattern Hair Loss
Finasteride is effective for male hair loss, but it may cause fertility issues, mental health problems, and rarely, breast growth. Regular health checks can reduce the risk of prostate cancer. Patient understanding and involvement in treatment is important.
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 Androgenetic alopecia - just a cosmetic defect or a biomarker and risk factor for systemic diseases? - literature review
Androgenetic alopecia may indicate higher risk for certain diseases and mental health issues.
research News in brief
Breast cancer survivors may have a higher risk of falls, tamoxifen could prevent breast cancer and deaths, new guidelines urge caution with prostate cancer therapy, and early balding in men may indicate a higher prostate cancer risk.
research Prostate Carcinoma, what would be the best to do ?
Correct testosterone levels for age to treat prostate cancer, using low dose treatments as necessary.
research Significance of the polyglutamine tract polymorphism in the androgen receptor
The length of the CAG repeat in the androgen receptor gene affects the risk and progression of prostate cancer, BPH, infertility, and undermasculinized genitalia.
research Screening: seeking a balance
The document concludes that better training and education are needed for proper cancer screening and criticizes the GMC's inaction as harmful to clinical ethics in the UK.
research Prostatakarzinom
5α-reductase inhibitors lower overall prostate cancer risk but not high-grade cancer risk; longer-term screening and new treatments show promise.
research Going Beyond Hair: Seven Simple Actions We Can Take to Help Prevent Major Illness in Our Hair Transplant Patients
Hair transplant surgeons should also focus on their patients' overall health, including regular check-ups and screening for common health issues.
research Effect of Low-Dose Finasteride on Serum PSA Concentrations
Low-dose finasteride lowers PSA levels, which can make prostate cancer harder to detect.
research The role of dutasteride in the treatment of benign prostatic obstruction and related conditions
Dutasteride effectively treats benign prostatic obstruction, improves urinary flow, reduces prostate size, and may prevent prostate cancer, but can cause sexual side effects.
research Highlights of This Issue
SLCO genes may predict prostate cancer mortality risk, and lifestyle changes improve health in advanced prostate cancer.
research A Slippery Preventive Slope
Finasteride reduces prostate cancer risk but may increase high-grade cancer risk.
research Finasteride Doesn't Shorten Survival in Long-term Study
Finasteride is safe for long-term use in prostate cancer treatment.
