Proscar and Cancer

In addition to sexual side effects, Proscar has been linked to an increased risk of high-grade prostate cancer, an aggressive form of the disease. In June 2011, a Proscar FDA warning was released to alert patients to this link and to advise that new labels would be placed on Proscar, Propecia and other 5-alpha reducatase inhibitors to reflect this risk. Compared to low-grade cancer, Proscar high-grade prostate cancer associated with use of the drug spreads and grows more quickly. Symptoms which may indicate Proscar prostate cancer in users may include blood in the urine or semen; bone pain; difficulty urinating; leg swelling; discomfort in the pelvic areas; and decreased force in the stream of the urine. Although the Proscar cancer warning only pertained to tumors in the prostate gland, the drug has also been allegedly linked to male breast cancer, which can be indicated by breast lumps or pain, nipple discharge and breast enlargement.
