Abstract

In this 4-year, multicenter, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial, authors compared the dutasteride (0.5 mg daily) with the placebo. Inclusion criteria were men of 50-75 years of age with a prostate-specific antigen (PSA) level of 2.5-10.0 ng/ml, who had one negative prostate biopsy (6-12 cores) within 6 months before enrollment.
