Earlier work found that sex hormones known as androgens play a role in both conditions, hair loss early in life (so-called pattern baldness) and prostate cancer. The relationship between these two is just right. One study showed that early hair loss is associated with lower chances of prostate cancer, so the picture is far from clear.
