What is the thought of this new study on Proscar/Propecia and more aggressive Prostate cancer?
It would be good to invite Dr. Otis Brawley on the show. He said:
Otis Brawley, chief medical officer of the American Cancer Society and a prostate cancer doctor himself, what he thought. Brawley wrote back:
"I and most docs who have reviewed the data believe that these drugs cause small high grade tumors that already exist to be more easily diagnosed by shrinking the normal prostate and not the cancer within it. It is does not cause high grade cancer in my opinion. There are a small number of people who think these drugs might cause high grade cancer. I seriously do not see evidence for that."
