March 2018 in “European Urology Supplements” Using 5-alpha-reductase inhibitors may improve bladder cancer survival in men.
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.
Deleting the MAD2L1 gene in mice led to rapid tumor growth despite chromosomal instability.
