title: [Treatment of prostate adenoma with finasteride. Contribution of cases].
abstract: During recent years more and more researchers and clinicians have become interested in HPB in order to identify a medical therapy instead of surgery. The aim of our study was to find the value of finasteride in HPB therapy. We wanted to know if finasteride was able to improve the symptomatology and blood tests of patients afflicted with HPB. Every patient was agreed with the course of action of the 1991 Paris Urology Congress. All patients were treated with finasteride 5 mg/die for one year and inspected by prostatic echography and blood tests. The results of our study are every interesting and are discussed in the article.
