[QUOTE="Ozzieville, post: 215874, member: 41689"] Madman: thanks for that additional info. I know that Dr. Morgentaler does prescribe testosterone for men (like me) with diagnosed prostate cancer, and his book "Testosterone for Life" describes case studies. I had a telemed session with Dr. Morgentaler, and he didn't have any concerns about my going on TRT (while admitting there aren't long-term studies in support, per your extracts above). Dr. Friedman (in "The New Testosterone Treatment") goes further and says that high levels of testosterone can cause apoptosis (death) of prostate cancer cells. He proposes that high levels of estradiol, not testosterone, promote prostate cancer, and therefore advocates use of an aromatase inhibitor such as anastrozole to keep estradiol levels in check (ideally at 15-25 pg/mL). In my own case, I'll simply monitor my prostate cancer until treatment becomes warranted (if ever). Better treatments with fewer side effects are coming down the pike all the time. Either way, I don't plan to cease TRT. [/QUOTE]
