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.
