TLDR Early-onset male baldness may indicate a higher risk of prostate cancer.
The study investigated the association between early-onset male androgenetic alopecia (before age 31) and prostate cancer. Conducted at Hospital Carlos Andrade Marín from May to September 2015, it included men over 18 with confirmed prostate cancer and a control group without neoplasms. Results showed a significant association, with an odds ratio of 4.25 (95% CI 1.7-10, p=0.001), indicating that men with early-onset androgenetic alopecia had a higher risk of developing prostate cancer. The study concluded that early-onset androgenetic alopecia could be considered a risk indicator for prostate cancer, suggesting the need for screening in these patients.
