AR-5 inhibitors and biopsy

[Guest guest]

I think I read something that said if you were on Finisteride/Proscar that this

would change how the cells look in a biopsy. Is that correct?

If that is true, here are my questions: After you are off the drugs for awhile,

do the cells return to looking like " regular " cancer cells at any point? Or if

you have been on one of these drugs, will the cells always look different? Does

it matter how long you were on the drugs? If you were on them for only about 3

months, would these changes occur? Is there a point to having a biopsy after

taking them or do you just tell the doctor so that they can tell the

pathologist?

Thanks for all of your help.
