Is prostate cancer a side effect of finasteride or i am misinformed?

Finasteride: Is treatment for certain forms of prostate cancer.

Likely Not: Likely not. http://cancerpreventionresearch.aacrjournals.org/content/1/3/174 http://www.Theatlantic.Com/health/archive/2012/04/the-20-year-quest-to-prevent-prostate-cancer-leads-to-your-hair-loss-drug/256174/.

Think of this: Finastereide did not cause prostate cancer , but some data has stated that if you were taking it, the cancer could be in more agressive form when it develops.
