Prostate cancer patients can benefit from 5-alpha-reductase inhibitor treatment: a meta-analysis
Although not a clinical trial, and subject to various weaknesses that the authors note, overall it seems to me a good argument for most of us to be taking dutasteride? "Our study demonstrates that 5ARI treatment can benefit patients with local and low Gleason score (≤7) PCa, especially in delaying the

Tamsulosin unusual side effect
I recently started taking tamsulosin for BPH. I initially had the usual dizzy feeling (now gone) but not any of the other side effects listed. Apart from one - my flaccid penis is significantly longer and fatter than usual. No change in erect state. I noticed it on day 2 and thought no more about it

Anyone taking Avodart (Dutasteride) as your only form of ADT?
Just curious as to whether any of you have been able to control your PSA after recurrence? Since dutasteride is an inhibitor of all three 5a-reductase isoforms, it appears to be an effective suppressor of DHT which is a considerably more potent androgen than the testosterone it is derived from. After

Adding Advanced AR drugs to ADT in non-Metastatic CRPCa Extends Overall Survival
Three related studies presented at the May 2020 ASCO showed an overall survival (OS) advantage in non-metastatic castrate-resistant PC by adding: 1) enzalutamide to ADT (vs placebo) in the PROSPER phase III study https://meetinglibrary.asco.org/record/187453/abstract 2) apalutamide to ADT (vs placebo

5 alpha reductase inhibitors, DHT, and uPSA
Would like to hear thoughts regarding the use 5 alpha Reductase Inhibitor in a 79-year-old PCa; status post RRP 2016, GS 3+4=7; +EPE, neg #24 PLND, who over the last 15 months is exhibiting a slow rising uPSA. This has not reached 0.050 but has reached 0.030 and trending upward. Reason for this consideration

Health Risks Associated With Long-Term Finasteride and Dutasteride Use: It's Time to Sound the Alarm
New paper below, [1]. Nalakrats & I believe there is a role for a 5-alpha reductase inhibitor in advanced PCa. Some disagree. I would be remiss if I didn't point out that long-term use (as with all PCa drugs) has a downside: "This treatment may result in development of non-alcoholic fatty liver diseases

After radiation....
during my appointment for my Lupron shot , I asked my doctor if I would stop or get off my
Dutasteride
and
Tamsulosin
and he toLed me no. Why would he keep me on the medication any longer now that I’m on Lupron and finished with my radiation?

tamsulosin side effects
I have been taking tamsulosin for about 18 years. It seems to cure my flow rate problem, which has never been all that good, but I get a `stuffed up nose` and have to miss a dose now and then.

Flutamide, bicalutamide, nilutamide, apalutamide or enzalutamide?
According to the cancer.gov fact sheet for Hormone Therapy for Prostate Cancer, there are 5 types of CAB, Complete Androgen Blockade. I've been on bical. for about 20 months. However, against advice, I have not had radiation nor surgery. The combo I'm using is finasteride, tamsulosin and bicalutamide

Woozy in morning after sleeping on left side
Been on Lupron/prednisone/zytiga since November 2018. Side effects have been manageable but lately a new symptom. If I have slept on my left side, When I get up I have been feeling woozy and it lasts for several hours. Strangely, it does not happen when I sleep on my right side. My other meds are atorvastatin

DHT / Avodart
New study below [1]. There have been some negative posts regarding the potential benefit of Dutasteride [Avodart] against PCa. Dr Myers used Avodart in men on ADT who nonetheless produced significant levels of dihydrotestosterone [DHT]. (The true target of ADT is DHT - not testosterone [T].) Myers
