Effect of Dutasteride on Prostate Biopsy Rates and the Diagnosis of Prostate Cancer in Men with Lower Urinary Tract Symptoms and Enlarged Prostates in the Combination of Avodart and Tamsulosin Trial  Claus G.

2 Fig. 1 Time to prostate cancer adverse effect by treatment group. Kaplan-Meier graph for time to prostate cancer diagnosis by treatment group. Time to prostate cancer was significantly longer for combination therapy versus tamsulosin monotherapy (p=0.006) and dutasteride monotherapy versus tamsulosin monotherapy (p=0.021). The relative risk reduction (RRR) was 43% for combination versus tamsulosin (95% confidence interval [CI], 15–62%) and 37% for dutasteride versus tamsulosin (95% CI, 6–57%). When results from the dutasteride arms were pooled, there was a 1.5% absolute risk reduction and a 40% RRR versus tamsulosin (95% CI, 16–57%; p=0.002).
