Finasteride For Prostate Cancer
In the Prostate Cancer Prevention Trial, 18,882 men, age 55 or over, received either finasteride (Proscar) 5 mg/day or placebo.Finasteride did appear to prevent or delay the appearance of prostate cancer and to improve urinary flow in the men who took it; however, men taking finasteride were more likely to suffer sexual dysfunction and were more likely to get high-grade prostate cancer.
