I doubt it can raise prostate cancer risk. Breast cancer perhaps yes. Are there any studies saying so? After all, isn't it used to fight prostate cancer?

don't know but I read this link:

http://injurylawyer-news.com/2013/02/ny-man-joins-propecia-lawsuits-federal-court/

finasteride may induce high-grade tumors by reducing levels of intracellular DHT within the prostate. Furthermore, many Propecia lawsuits also allege that prostate tumors developing in men with low testosterone levels have higher-grade prostate cancer and worse outcomes than the prostate cancers that develop in men with normal testosterone levels. -

it's probably just speculation
