Prostate cancer is not caused by Testosterone in the body, however, if Prostate cancer is present, Testosterone will cause the problem to become worse. We agree with the AACE recommendation of testing for PSA regularly in those who receive Testosterone supplements. ¹

Recent research suggests PSA rises slightly, to no ill effect, when closely controlled dosing of supplements are applied for men with Hypogonadism.^{21 38 44}

For those already suffering with Prostate cancer, depression often accompanies, partly because testicles are sometimes removed to halt the production of Testosterone.

It follows that those with prostate cancer and Testosterone Deficiency, are likely to suffer more as the years go by. Recent research offers a glimmer of hope for those affected. A combination of drugs including testosterone supplements have been suggested to have no impact on the cancer, but positive effect on the patient.⁴⁶

New research identifies an Androgen receptor gene which is said to control the Prostate gland's reaction to Testosterone substitution.¹⁷⁴
