That was also my first question. I looked at the original paper [1], the medication names they used to identify individuals on androgen deprivation therapy are listed in the 'eAppendix':
Leuprolide, goserelin, triptorelin, histrelin, Degarelix, flutamide, bicalutamide, nilutamide, Enzalutamide, Cyproterone acetate, Lupron, Zoladex, Trelstar, Vantas, Firmagon, Eulexin, Casodex, Nilandron, Xtandi, Nizoral, Androcur, Eligard, Cyprostat, Anandron, Flutamin, Cytomid, Cosudex, Calutide, Kalumid
So relax, finasteride does not seem to be on the list.

- spatulan 10y agoI'm on Cyproterone Acetate. Does it say anywhere in the paper if certain anti-androgens are worse than others?
- msamwald 10y agoNo, all of the medications seem to be lumped together.

Assuming the FDA approved all of these drugs to treat a single condition, this treatment must be VERY profitable!
- slyrus 10y agoIt's annoying how the press release manages to have links for the institutions involved, the authors, various initiatives and departments, but not for the paper itself. Surely encouraging folks to read the work should be as important as trumpeting the fact that the work was done.
