Androgen deprivation therapy might help prevent severe COVID-19, but more research is needed.
research Study Answers Some Questions about Androgen Suppression Pre-Radiation, but Not All
Extending androgen suppression before radiotherapy offers no extra survival benefit for intermediate-risk prostate cancer.
research Finasteride: Middle-Age Cure-All for Alopecia and Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia?
Finasteride reduces prostate cancer risk but may increase high-grade cancer cases.
