The package insert that accompanies any type of prescription for testosterone replacement products states that testosterone is “contraindicated in men with prostate cancer.” This means that you should never use any form of testosterone if you have prostate cancer. 99.9% plus of all physicians believe that if you give testosterone to a patient with prostate cancer, it’s “like adding gasoline to a fire.” We are taught that testosterone will markedly stimulate the growth of prostate cancer cells, cause widespread metastatic disease, and greatly hasten death. Testosterone replacement therapy has also been reported to cause permanent paralysis.
A number of years ago, I reviewed the medical literature regarding the relationship between testosterone and prostate cancer, especially in men who were previously treated for prostate cancer. I previously discussed this subject in detail in my September 2003 paper, “High-Dose Testosterone Replacement Therapy,” and the interested reader is directed to this paper.
