  Dr Peter Albertsen, a prostate cancer specialist at the University of Connecticut, explains: While 10 per cent of men 55 and older find out they have prostate cancer, the cancer is lethal in no more than 25 per cent of them.So if finasteride reduced the prostate cancer's incidence by 30 per cent, about 7 per cent of men would get a cancer diagnosis and approximately 1.8 per cent instead of 2.5 per cent would have a lethal cancer.
  
  "Finasteride might make a difference, but only in a very small subset of men," Albertsen said.
