Dutasteride increases PSA Doubling Time after PSA Recurrence
These two Kaplan-Meier plots compare
Dutasteride
(0.5 mg/day) to Placebo in a randomized, double-blind trial from 2012 of 187 men who have progressed to
PSA Failure.
In the upper plot,
Dutasteride
increases the
Doubling Time
from, for example, 9 months to 18 months (factor of 2X).

Dutasteride (5-ARI) extends time to disease progression in Low-Risk men on Active Surveillance, compared to Placebo
This study by Finelli et al. (2010) looks at the effect of
Dutasteride
(5-ARI) on the rate of prostate cancer disease progression in Low-Risk men on Active Surveillance.

Reference Library of Papers about Dutasteride for Treating Prostate Cancer
Here is a library of 20 papers about using
Dutasteride
to treat prostate cancer. In one study,
Dutasteride
monotherapy reduces PSA by 50%, reduces prostate volume by 25%, and reduces tumor volume by 30%, after 6 months of treatment, compared to placebo (Moore, 2017).

Should the dose of Dutasteride be increased?
Taking 0.5 mg/day of
Dutasteride
reduces the normal DHT level by 94.7 % to about 24 pg/mL (reduction factor = 19X). Increasing the
Dutasteride
dose to 2.5 mg/day reduces the normal DHT level by 97.7% to about 10 pg/mL (reduction factor = 40X).

Dutasteride Monotherapy is effective for Newly Diagnosed PCa men not on ADT
About 15% of men in Group A are non-responders, and about 35-40% of men in Group B are non-responders to
Dutasteride
monotherapy. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC7757197/

Dutasteride Black Box Warning Label is Inappropriate.
This plot that I made goes back to the original paper by Thompson et al. (2003), that was the basis for slapping the Black Box Warning Label on
Dutasteride
prescriptions.

Why don't doctors prescribe Dutasteride more often?
Here is the single best paper reviewing the three major trials that compared
Dutasteride
to placebo for men with PCa.

My own PSA values over time: 70% drop in just 3 months on Dutasteride and no ADT
Dutasteride
decreases
DHT
levels by more then 90%, which is why there is such a dramatic decrease in PSA levels.
DHT
is the fuel that feeds prostate cancer growth, not testosterone.
Dutasteride
also shrinks the prostate by 25-50%, as well as reducing the risk of PCa by 20%.

Enzalutamide Plus 5-Alpha Reductase Inhibitors for Castrate-Sensitive Prostate Cancer
The trial examines whether enzalutamide combined with
dutasteride
or finasteride can effectively manage prostate cancer while avoiding ADT.

Dutasteride and PSA dropping
I've read that you are supposed to double the PSA to get an "equivalent" non-
dutasteride
level of 11. Does anyone understand why we are supposed to double the PSA value when taking
dutasteride
?

Reason for a 2nd Opinion of your Prostate Biopsy Report .
As the resuly of my rising PSA of 7.3 , I have been on
Dutasteride
for 4 yars for BPH , I proceeded to have a Tesla 3.0 Prostate MRI which showed an increased T2 Signal plus a PI - RADS 5 . highly suspicious of cancer .

Bicalutamide and Eligard
Doctor recommend Eligard (Lupron) with bicalutimide and
dutasteride
. No choice. I went thru thus on Jan 10, 2024. Hospital said I have to run thru Eligard for 24 months on a quarterly basis. Every 3 month. Doctor Said Eligard works only for 2 years, and I have to find another drug thereafter.

Prostate Drugs Reduce Dementia Risk
They were compared to people who took two other types of prostate drugs that do not activate the same enzyme—tamsulosin and the 5α-reductase inhibitors finasteride and
dutasteride
, called 5ARIs.

Dental Issues on Finesteride
She suggested
dutasteride
but with similar mechanism of action I want no part of that either. I will be 74 in a few weeks. I received full gland HIFU ablation surgery in 2016. I received a 6 month eligard shot months before that. Since then I have been off ADT. Oh, I had a pylarify scan Sept '23.
