research Table 1
Androgen suppression therapy (AST) doesn't significantly lower bladder cancer risk, but using finasteride, a type of AST, might reduce it. AST decreases recurrence-free survival but doesn't affect overall survival or progression-free survival. More research is needed to understand AST's benefits.
research Table 2
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.
research Sexual Dysfunction, Including Hypoactive Sexual Desire Disorder: Diagnosis and Treatment Recommendations
Testosterone therapy can improve sexual function in women but long-term safety is unclear.
research Evaluation of Serum G Protein-Coupled Estrogen Receptor 1 (GPER-1) Levels in Patients with Androgenetic Alopecia
Alopecia patients have less GPER-1, which might affect hair loss.
research The Therapeutic Use of Androgens in Women
Testosterone replacement may improve sexual desire and bone health in women with low androgen levels, but more research is needed on its long-term safety.
research Androgens and the Menopause
Testosterone replacement may help postmenopausal women with sexual function and bone density, but suitable treatments are limited.
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
