research Prostate cancer prevention
Prostate cancer prevention includes diet changes, supplements, and medications, with more answers expected soon.
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 Effects of the 5α-Reductase Inhibitor Finasteride on Serum Levels of Gonadal, Adrenal, and Hypophyseal Hormones and its Clinical Significance: A Prospective Clinical Study
Finasteride reduces hair loss and treats BPH without major hormone changes, but may cause sexual dysfunction.
research 5-α-Reductase inhibitors for prostate cancer chemoprevention: an updated Cochrane systematic review
5-α-reductase inhibitors reduce prostate cancer risk but may cause sexual dysfunction and don't affect high-grade tumor or death rates.
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 A Natural Product Molecule of Artocarpus Heterophyllus Reverses Inflammation Due to the Effect of Acute Exposure of Prostate Tissue to Testosterone Enanthate in Wistar Rats
Artocarpus heterophyllus seed extract may help treat prostate inflammation without side effects.
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 The Rationale for Inhibiting 5α-Reductase Isoenzymes in the Prevention and Treatment of Prostate Cancer
Inhibiting 5α-reductase can help reduce prostate cancer risk and improve treatment.
research The Transcriptional Co-Activator cAMP Response Element-Binding Protein-Binding Protein Is Expressed in Prostate Cancer and Enhances Androgen- and Anti-Androgen-Induced Androgen Receptor Function
A protein called CBP is found in prostate cancer and can increase the effectiveness of certain prostate cancer treatments.
research Matriptase activation and shedding with HAI-1 is induced by steroid sex hormones in human prostate cancer cells, but not in breast cancer cells
Steroid sex hormones activate matriptase in prostate cancer cells but not in breast cancer cells.
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 HSD3B1 Genotypes Conferring Adrenal-Restrictive and Adrenal-Permissive Phenotypes in Prostate Cancer and Beyond
Certain HSD3B1 gene types are linked to worse prostate cancer outcomes and affect treatment response and other health conditions.
research Androgenic alopecia is not useful as an indicator of men at high risk of prostate cancer
Baldness at age 40 is not linked to a higher risk of aggressive prostate cancer.
research Relationship of Early-Onset Baldness to Prostate Cancer in African-American Men
Early-onset baldness is linked to a higher risk of aggressive prostate cancer in African-American men, especially before age 60.
research Apocrine sweat gland obstruction by antiperspirants allowing transdermal absorption of cutaneous generated hormones and pheromones as a link to the observed incidence rates of breast and prostate cancer in the 20th century
The document suggests that blocking sweat glands with antiperspirants might allow skin-generated hormones to be absorbed, possibly increasing breast and 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 Age-Dependent Associations between Androgenetic Alopecia and Prostate Cancer Risk
Early balding at 40 increases prostate cancer risk.
research Genetic variants in AR and SHBG and resistance to hormonal castration in prostate cancer
Certain genetic variants increase the risk of resistance to hormone therapy in prostate cancer patients.

Kolaviron and quercetin may help treat prostate issues.
research Identification and characterization of an antisense RNA transcript (gfg) from the human basic fibroblast growth factor gene.
Researchers found an RNA transcript that might help control a growth factor linked to tumor development.
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 Risk factors for prostate cancer: An umbrella review of prospective observational studies and mendelian randomization analyses
