Sulforaphane is also an anti-angiogenic and promotes apoptosis just like DIM.
Now in the long run would the degradation of DHT beat the anti-angiogenic effects? One thing for sure it will cause shedding once you start.

Bioavailability
Bioavailability studies indicate that glucoraphanin can be absorbed intact, but when eaten within broccoli it is primarily converted to sulforaphane during chewing, which is then absorbed in the upper intestine. Intact glucoraphanin can also be converted to sulforaphane by gut microflora (Holst & Williamson, 2004). A study of rats indicated that glucoraphanin purified from broccoli seed is recovered in the urine, with no glucoraphanin or metabolites found in feces. Urinary products of glucoraphanin were studied, with both oral and intraperitoneal delivery, with 20% and 45% of the dose recovered in urine, respectively. The study indicated that if glucoraphanin is absorbed intact, it undergoes enterohepatic circulation and is hydrolyzed in the gut (Bheemreddy & Jeffery, 2007). This absorption of glucoraphanin, rather than the biologically active derivative sulforaphane, is important, since cooking can destroy myrosinase, thereby preventing pre-absorption metabolism of glucoraphanin.
