摘要
5α还原酶抑制剂通过抑制5α还原酶降低双氢睾酮水平。应用5α还原酶抑制剂进行的前列腺癌预防研究显示,5α还原酶抑制剂可以降低前列腺癌发病率,但同时也出现高级别前列腺癌病例增加的现象,引起广泛关注。有研究和分析显示,5α还原酶抑制剂使前列腺体积缩小,同时也缩小Gleason评分为3分患者的前列腺癌体积,使得再次穿刺更容易发现Gleason评分为4分以上的前列腺癌。另外5α还原酶抑制剂显著提高前列腺穿刺诊断前列腺癌和高级别前列腺癌敏感度。笔者认为5α还原酶抑制剂不但不增加高级别前列腺癌的发生率,反而会帮助我们更早发现高级别前列腺癌。
5-alpha reductase inhibitors decrease the level of dihydrotestosterone （DHT） by inhibiting 5-alpha reductase. Trials on 5-alpha reductase inhibitors in prostate cancer prevention showed that they could significantly decrease the incidence of prostate cancer, but meanwhile increase high-grade cases as well. Recent studies demonstrated that 5-alpha reductase inhibitors could reduce not only the prostate volume but also the volume of Gleason grade 3 prostate cancer, which made easier the detection of higher-grade prostate cancer in the second biopsy. 5-alpha reductase inhibitors could also increase the sensitivity of prostate biopsy in detecting pros- tate cancer, particularly that of a higher grade. The evidence we have obtained leads to the conclusion that 5-alpha reductase inhibitors do not increase the incidence of high-grade prostate cancer, but on the contrary help its earlier detection.
