متن کاملMale pattern baldness and the risk of prostate cancer.
BACKGROUND Androgens play a role in the development of both androgenic alopecia, commonly known as male pattern baldness, and prostate cancer. We set out to study if early-onset androgenic alopecia was associated with an increased risk of prostate cancer later in life.
