Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results (SEER) data indicate that between 2010 and 2015, the overall incidence of prostate cancer in the United States

Dutasteride reduces the prostate cancer risk in men with a prostate-specific antigen (PSA) of 2
This medicine may affect the results of the prostate specific antigen (PSA) test, which may be used to detect prostate cancer
If there is an increase in your PSA, your doctor may decide to do more tests to check if you have prostate cancer
The repeated-measures analysis
DHT is necessary for normal growth and function, but it also seems to have a great impact on the development of BPH and on the initiation and maintenance of prostate cancer
Naturally lowering PSA
People can naturally lower prostate-specific antigen (PSA) levels by eating plenty of fruits and vegetables, increasing physical Dutasteride, 0
For patients undergoing PSA screening, increases in PSA levels while on treatment with dutasteride capsules may signal the presence of prostate cancer and should be
Avodart helps improve urinary flow and may also reduce the need for prostate surgery later
By lowering DHT levels, dutasteride stops your prostate from growing
8%), and the median duration of the response was 4 months (range, 1–10)
Patients on a 5-ARI with any increase in PSA levels, even if within normal limits, should be evaluated; may indicate presence of prostate cancer
It is recommended to monitor PSA values regularly thereafter
Current data confirm that this drug lowers DHT levels in the blood by more than 90% in 2 weeks
In men aged 50 to 75 years with a prior negative biopsy for prostate cancer and a baseline PSA between 2
3
PSA levels rose during the study period Any increase in PSA during treatment with Avodart may be a sign of prostate cancer and should be further evaluated, even if PSA is at a level that would be considered normal among men who are not taking Avodart

The Reduction by Dutasteride of Prostate Cancer Events (REDUCE) trial is a randomized controlled trial, which tests dutasteride for prostate cancer chemoprevention over a 4-year period in patients between 50 to 75 years of age who had prostate-specific antigen (PSA) levels of 2
