Using 5-alpha-reductase inhibitors may improve bladder cancer survival in men.
research Androgens Modulate Keratinocyte Differentiation Indirectly Through Enhancing Growth Factor Production From Dermal Fibroblasts
Male hormones indirectly affect skin cell development by increasing growth factor levels from skin fibroblasts.
research 5α-Reductase Type 2 Gene Variant Associations with Prostate Cancer Risk, Circulating Hormone Levels, and Androgenetic Alopecia
Gene variant linked to prostate cancer, hormone levels, and hair loss.
research S2 PSA: Reliable or Not Reliable?
PSA testing is a reliable method for detecting prostate cancer, and opioids may lower PSA levels, but triglycerides don't affect prostate cancer risk.
research Urethral PSA Levels After Radical Prostatectomy
Higher urethral PSA levels after prostate removal surgery may be linked to more hair loss and higher PSA levels post-surgery.
research S1 Opioid Receptor Agonists and Serum Prostate-Specific Antigen Level: Is There a Role for Prostate Cancer Control and Chemoprevention?
Opioid use may lower PSA levels, suggesting a possible role in prostate cancer control; PSA testing is useful for detecting prostate cancer; serum triglycerides are not linked to prostate cancer risk; and higher urethral PSA levels may be associated with local hormone activity.
