Is there a link between prostate cancer, balding and finasteride or dutasteride?

According to the attached article from Harvard Health (thanks for the reference) and a group of Australian doctors who studied two groups of about 1400 men, they found that men with bald spots at the top of their heads (vertex baldness) were one and a half times more likely to have prostate cancer than those without bald spots. As an aside, we have also known from other studied that men who have vertex (crown balding) have a higher risk of heart disease and chances of dying of a heart attack. So what does this tell us? If you have Crown balding, be careful to check your heart and your prostate.
