(CNN) -- A study released Tuesday indicates that a drug used to treat male pattern baldness reduces the odds of getting prostate cancer by about 25 percent.

But there's some bad news: The same study seems to show that if a man taking finasteride does get the disease, the drug appears to increase his chance of getting a more aggressive form.

this is old news and some people doubt the results of this study.

This article has been posted on here more than a few times as well as on hairlosshelp. It's over 3 years old.

yeh, think alot of people knew this already.

and people are unsure whether it really increases the chances of u having more agressive cancer, which doesn't mean im telling u to take finasteride to prevent prostate cancer!

 

[MPBWarrior]

it's kind of ridiculous. the 1000 men on finasteride had 22 cases of high-grade tumors and the 1000 not on finasteride had 18 cases. that's a difference of 4 people in a population of 2000. is that really that siginificant for us on finasteride to be worrying??

That info is not up to date. Finasteride has been exonerated for triggering high grade prostate cancer.
