Early baldness can be an alarming signal of prostate cancer. A recent study conducted by French Scientists has revealed that men suffering from premature baldness at the age of 20 are more likely to fall victim of prostate cancer at the later stage.

Prostrate cancer is among the most deadly form of cancer around the world, and has gripped many males at the age of sixties. Earlier research work done in the field of cancer has established a fact that sex hormones called androgens plays a vital role in the growth of baldness and subsequently, prostate cancer.

Though the connection between the two was blurred, this new study has hinted out at the potential connection between premature baldness and prostate cancer. The abnormal loss of hair is medically termed as androgenic alopecia and has been the topic of research for quite a long time.

As per the study conducted by a team of scientists led by Philippe Giraud of Georges Pompidou European Hospital in Paris on 669 men, men facing a significant hair loss at the age of 20 are twice likely to get prostate cancer as compare to those at the age of 30s or 40s.

Responding to the outrage the study has created in every sphere of the community, Giraud has reportedly claimed that more efforts needs to be made in order to produce substantial evidence favoring the findings of the research work.
