Risk of estrogen-driven malignancies in females on 5-alpha reductase inhibitors
Abstract Importance: It is hypothesized that 5α-reductase inhibitors (5aRI) increase aromatase-mediated conversion of testosterone to estrogen, which may facilitate development of estrogen-driven malignancy. Previous studies in male patients receiving 5aRI treatment failed to demonstrate an increased risk of breast cancer; however, similar ...
