May 2026 in “Frontiers in Pharmacology” This study investigated the impact of long-term 5α-reductase inhibitor (5-ARI) use on survival in men with renal cell carcinoma (RCC) using data from 31,927 men in Korea. The study found that long-term use of 5-ARIs, such as finasteride or dutasteride, was associated with significantly lower all-cause mortality, particularly in patients who did not undergo surgery or systemic therapy and had low comorbidity. The results suggest that androgen modulation through 5-ARIs may positively influence RCC progression, indicating potential for these inhibitors as adjunctive treatments in specific clinical scenarios.
