PROSCAR is Finasteride which prevents the conversion of testosterone to dihydrotestosterone (DHT) in the body. DHT is involved in the development of benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) and hair loss. Finasteride is used to treat benign prostatic hyperplasia (enlarged prostate). Finasteride is also used to reduce hair loss due to male pattern baldness.

Time for another PSA test, and if indicated, a biopsy. Don't delay going to the doctor. I had NO symptoms and was still diagnosed with prostate cancer. There are no drug treatments that deal with the cancer directly. Brachytherapy and radiation is the treatment I opted for. It was easy and relatively painless, and I remain "fully functional".
