Avodart (Dutasteride) is similar to Proscar (Finasteride) in that it
blocks the conversion of testosterone (T) to dihydrotestosterone (DHT).

There are two pathways for the conversion of T to DHT and they involve
the 5-alpha reductase-1 (5-AR1) and 5-AR2 enzymes.

Proscar blocks only the major pathway;

Avodart blocks both pathways and is therefore usually more effective in
reducing DHT levels.  DHT levels can be a concern if one has BPH and is
worried about the possibility of prostate cancer.

DHT is 3-10 times more effective than T in stimulating hormonally
dependent prostate cancer cell growth, low DHT levels are desirable.

Both Proscar or Avodart are part of the ADT3 regimen often used to
reduce T and DHT levels in hormonally-dependent PCa.
Avodart is used in the treatment of BPH.

Short-term (2 year) studies have shown no increase in adverse events
when Avodart was compared to a placebo in these BHP studies...

invariably fatal. Prostate cancer is only sometimes so."
