750-780 / 1000+ resultsresearch Three Considerations Before Advising 5-α-Reductase Inhibitors for Chemoprevention
5-α-reductase inhibitors don't prevent prostate cancer but may reduce unnecessary biopsies.
research Doxazosin and finasteride alone or in combination: the PREDICT study
Doxazosin alone or combined with finasteride improves prostate symptoms better than finasteride alone, without extra benefits.
research Finasteride: Middle-Age Cure-All for Alopecia and Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia?–Reply–II
Finasteride is beneficial for BPH but requires careful monitoring due to cancer risks.
research Hydroxychloroquine modulates the progression of experimentally induced benign prostatic hyperplasia in rats via targeting EGFR/ERK/STAT3 and AR/FOXO1/TRAIL pathways: computational and in vivo studies
Hydroxychloroquine may help treat benign prostatic hyperplasia by reducing inflammation and promoting cell death.
research Comparison of combination therapy with tamsulosin and dutasteride or finasteride in patients with benign prostatic hyperplasia: a randomized clinical trial
Dutasteride is slightly better than finasteride for treating BPH but has fewer sexual side effects.
research Ixekizumab improves physical function, quality of life, and work productivity in biologic disease-modifying antirheumatic drug-naive patients with active psoriatic arthritis
Ixekizumab helps improve life quality, physical ability, and work performance in patients with psoriatic arthritis who haven't used biologic drugs before.
research Editorial Comment
PSA levels help determine prostate size and guide treatment choices for benign prostatic hyperplasia.
research Étude PCPT : les biais attendus et leur gestion
Systematic end-of-trial biopsies are the most reliable way to assess outcomes.
research Finasteride in the treatment of Taiwanese men with androgenetic alopecia: a 12-month open-label study.
Finasteride effectively slowed hair loss and promoted hair growth in Taiwanese men.
research 0413 IL-17 Inhibitors vs. methotrexate in preventing new-onset psoriatic arthritis in psoriasis patients: a retrospective population-level analysis
IL-17 inhibitors are more effective than methotrexate in preventing psoriatic arthritis in psoriasis patients.
research Efecto del extracto hidroetanólico de semillas de Coffea arabica L. sobre la hiperplasia prostática inducida en Mus musculus var. swiss orquiectomizados
Low doses of Coffea arabica seed extract prevent prostate growth and lower uric acid and PSA levels.
research The Relationship between Androgenic Alopecia and Prostate Cancer
Baldness (androgenic alopecia) could be a risk factor for prostate cancer.
research Level-1 Data From the REDUCE Study and the PCPT Data
Finasteride and dutasteride reduce prostate cancer risk, but finasteride may increase higher-grade cancer risk.
research 1746 INCREASED SERUM C-REACTIVE PROTEIN LEVELS IMPLIES CHRONIC INFLAMMATION IS INVOLVED IN MEN WITH BENIGN PROSTATIC HYPERPLASIA AND PREDOMINANT STORAGE LOWER URINARY TRACT SYMPTOMS
Higher CRP levels suggest chronic inflammation is linked to bladder-related urinary symptoms in men with enlarged prostates.
research Glatze in jungen Jahren könnte Risikofaktor für BPH sein
Early balding may be a sign of future prostate problems.
research CAN PATIENTS WITH LUTS AND BPH DISCERN CHANGES IN PEAK URINARY FLOW RATE AND DO SUCH CHANGES CONTRIBUTE TO OVERALL SATISFACTION WITH TREATMENT?
Finasteride improves urinary symptoms and quality of life in BPH patients, especially with larger prostate size.
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 Editorial comment 1
Finasteride may reduce prostate cancer risk.
research Polygenic risk score predicting susceptibility and outcome of benign prostatic hyperplasia in the Han Chinese
A higher genetic risk score increases the chance of getting benign prostatic hyperplasia and affects treatment outcomes in Han Chinese men.
research 1378 CHARATERISTICS OF PATIENTS ON NON-DAILY AND DAILY DUTASTERIDE COMPARED TO PATIENTS CYTOREDUCTION NAIVE
Non-daily Dutasteride is more cost-effective and has lower cancer incidence than daily treatment.
research IMPLICAÇÕES DA TOMA CRÓNICA DA FINASTERIDE PARA A ALOPÉCIA ANDROGENÉTICA NO CARCINOMA DA PRÓSTATA
Chronic use of 1 mg/day finasteride for hair loss may delay prostate cancer diagnosis by lowering PSA levels.
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.

There is no link between hair loss and prostate enlargement.
research 1748 IS ANDROGENETIC ALOPECIA ASSOCIATED WITH BENIGN PROSTATIC HYPERPLASIA? ANALYSIS OF 907 PATIENTS
Hair loss is linked to higher prostate-specific antigen levels and urinary symptoms, likely due to age.
research Patients with a large prostate show a higher prevalence of androgenetic alopecia
Large prostate patients more likely to have hair loss.
research Successes and failures of evidence based urology
Evidence-based urology improved treatment and quality of life for conditions like BPH by shifting from surgery to effective medications like finasteride and dutasteride.
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.
