👥Biography 个人简介
Ian Thompson at UT Health San Antonio led the Prostate Cancer Prevention Trial (PCPT) — the first trial to demonstrate that a pharmacological agent (finasteride) reduces prostate cancer incidence. The PCPT showed a 25% reduction in prostate cancer prevalence with finasteride but also increased detection of high-grade tumors, creating a nuanced result that has shaped debate about prostate cancer chemoprevention for two decades.
