Androgen suppression therapy (AST) doesn't significantly lower bladder cancer risk, but using finasteride, a type of AST, might decrease the risk. AST also lessens the chance of cancer coming back but doesn't really affect survival rates. More research is needed to understand AST's benefits for different bladder cancers.

January 2017 in “Journal of Investigative Dermatology Symposium Proceedings” The 2015 Hair Research Congress concluded that stem cells, maraviroc, and simvastatin could potentially treat Alopecia Areata, topical minoxidil, finasteride, and steroids could treat Frontal Fibrosing Alopecia, and PTGDR2 antagonists could also treat alopecia. They also found that low-level light therapy could help with hair loss, a robotic device could assist in hair extraction, and nutrition could aid hair growth. They suggested that Alopecia Areata is an inflammatory disorder, not a single disease, indicating a need for personalized treatments.

June 2025 in “International Journal of Molecular Sciences” Vitexin, a natural flavonoid glycoside, demonstrates significant anti-cancer properties by modulating various cellular processes such as apoptosis, cell cycle progression, autophagy, metastasis, and angiogenesis across multiple cancer types. It targets key signaling pathways, including PI3K/Akt/mTOR, NF-κB, and STAT3, and enhances the efficacy of chemotherapy and radiation therapy. Despite challenges in bioavailability, advances in nanotechnology could improve its therapeutic potential. Vitexin's ability to target multiple cancer-related pathways and its favorable safety profile make it a promising candidate for future cancer treatments, although further research is needed to optimize delivery and evaluate its safety and efficacy in humans.
