Australia, ( Perth ) -- ( STOP-HAIR-FALL.CO.UK ) -- { 05/27/2013
} -- The relationship
between hair loss and prostate cancer is vague. However, a new report
from Annal Oncology suggests a relationship between hair loss and prostate
cancer.
A new study at
European Georges Pompidou Hospital in Paris suggests that early hair loss in
men may show an increased risk of prostate cancer later in life. Men who begin
experiencing loss of hair at the age of 20 have twice the risk of
prostate cancer when they grow older.
The link could help
identify those most in danger of developing the disease – the most common
cancer among men in the UK – and enable them to be targeted for screening.
A study was
conducted on 388 prostate cancer patients from Paris and Toulouse, France, and
281 healthy volunteers with no history of prostate cancer or hormonal
disorders.
The investigators
found out that any balding at 20 years, but not at 30 or 40 years, were
associated with an increased prostate cancer incidence later in life. However,
there were no significant associations between the pattern of hair loss
(frontal, vertex, or both) and the later development of prostate cancer.
The study did not suggest that those who developed the early signs of male
pattern baldness would develop prostate cancer earlier.
Study authors said
they will work to determine whether this finding may help them narrow down
prostate cancer screening. “We need a way of identifying those men who are at
high risk of developing the disease. Balding at the age of 20 may be one of
these easily identifiable risk factors, and more work needs to be done now to
confirm this,” said study author Dr. Philippe Giraud from the European Georges
Pompidou Hospital in Paris.

The researchers said
it is too soon to conclude that early male pattern hair loss and
prostate cancer are indeed linked. Even until now there has been conflicting
evidence about the relationship between hair loss and prostate cancer.
