Men who start balding at age 20 may have a higher chance of getting aggressive prostate cancer.
research Expression and Cellular Localization of Keratinocyte Growth Factor and Its Receptor in Human Hyperplastic Prostate Tissue
KGF and its receptor are found in enlarged prostate tissue and KGF strongly increases cell growth.
research Enzalutamide, a Prostate Cancer Therapeutic, Downregulates TMPRSS2 in Lung and Reduces Cellular Entry of SARS-CoV-2
Enzalutamide, a prostate cancer drug, may help prevent COVID-19 by blocking the virus from entering lung cells.
research Insight into Recent Advances in Degrading Androgen Receptor for Castration-Resistant Prostate Cancer

research Clinical Significance of Intravesical Prostatic Protrusion/Prostate Volume
The IPP index is linked to storage symptoms and leftover urine, and may help manage urinary tract symptoms.
research An Observational Study of the Association Between Androgenetic Alopecia and Size of the Prostate
The conclusion is that more hair loss (androgenetic alopecia) is linked to larger prostate size, suggesting hair loss could be an early sign of benign prostatic hyperplasia.
research A New Look at an Old Option in the Treatment of Early-Stage Prostate Cancer: Hormone Therapy as an Alternative to Watchful Waiting
Hormone therapy might be a proactive alternative to watchful waiting for early-stage prostate cancer, potentially improving survival without aggressive treatment downsides.
research Blockade of Androgen Markers Using a Novel Betasitosterol, Thioctic Acid, and Carnitine-Containing Compound in Prostate and Hair Follicle Cell-Based Assays
The new compound was more effective than finasteride in reducing markers of hair loss and prostate issues in cell tests.
research A Powerful Method for Pleiotropic Analysis Under Composite Null Hypothesis Identifies Novel Shared Loci Between Type 2 Diabetes and Prostate Cancer
The new method found new shared genetic areas linked to both Type 2 Diabetes and Prostate Cancer.
research Association of Treatment with 5α-Reductase Inhibitors with Time to Diagnosis and Mortality in Prostate Cancer
Treatment with 5α-reductase inhibitors is linked to a delay in prostate cancer diagnosis and may affect survival rates.
