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.
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 2022 in “Skin appendage disorders” The systematic review and meta-regression analyses by Aditya K. Gupta and colleagues found a positive dose-dependent association between low-dose oral minoxidil (LDOM) and its efficacy in treating androgenetic alopecia (AGA). Analyzing six studies, the research showed that increasing the dosage of LDOM significantly improved hair diameter, total hair density, and terminal hair density after six months. However, higher doses also increased the risk of hypertrichosis and cardiovascular adverse events. The study concludes that while LDOM is effective in promoting hair growth, it also carries associated risks, highlighting the need for future randomized trials to confirm these findings and determine the optimal dose.
