A recent study has claimed that men who are facing hair loss at the age of 20 are more likely to develop prostate cancer at a later stage in life. Nevertheless, many researchers have tried to establish strong connection between the occurrence of hair loss at young age and prostate cancer in men. This research has certainly uncoiled the brewing issue.
As per the study conducted on 388 men with prostate patients for more than two years, any form of hair loss, including partial hair loss, a patch or both, can be considered as significant evidence to diagnose for prostate cancer.
Though the study overlooked the occurrence of prostate cancer in men above the age of 30 and 40, researchers have strongly indicated a potential connection between early baldness in young men and prostate cancer.
Many researchers have raised doubts over the pedagogy adopted for the study of samples in the aforementioned study and hence, appealed for a more controlled study.
Despite producing concert evidence for the hypothesis, many health experts have asserted that more deep research needs to be done so that sufficient evidence can be brought out to introduce the finding in actual medical practices.
