Early diagnosis of prostate cancer in finasteride treated BPH patients

It appears that in finasteride treated patients with large prostate (>60 cc) the application of finasteride may facilitate an early detection of prostate cancer by lowering %FPSA data from >18% values to much lower levels while TPSA drops much less than down to 50% of its initial value. According to these recordings it is easy to diagnose an early prostate cancer in patients with a large prostate that prevents an accurate clinical finding.
