I have crossposted this in effect but think this title might bring more
attention... I have been reading about this theory and wonder if anyone else
has.

Some quotes and links below:

"Low Testosterone not high testosterone can cause prostate cancer.
Controversial research suggesting that low, rather than high testosterone may
cause prostate cancer was reported over a decade ago by two highly respected
urologists, Wayne Meikle at the University of Utah and Robert Prehn, at the
Cancer Institute. Regardless of these findings and others, the safety of
testosterone is not yet fully accepted. According to Dr. Prehn, testosterone
may protect the prostate by blocking some of the age-related changes, which
promote its increased growth. Dr. Meikle, a well-known researcher in
transdermal testosterone, has found that low testosterone is a risk factor for
prostate cancer in men with a positive family history for the disease."

"Diet/medication wise I am following the advice of Dr. K. who prescribed a
Progesterone cream that is applied scrotally each night. There is evidence
that Progesterone will interrupt the Testosterone/DHT cycle which in turn will
inhibit the PC growth. The Progesterone approach is equivalent in effect to
the more standard hormone treatment in which Lupron is injected once a month
to reduce the Tostesterone output, but without the side effects. Tosterterone
encourages PC growth"

"It has been known since the 1940's that severe reductions of testosterone can
cause shrinkage of metastatic prostate cancer, and therefore there has been a
concern that raising testosterone levels might cause growth of any hidden
prostate cancers. However, the study by Ernani L. Rhoden, M.D., and
Morgentaler found no connection between higher testosterone levels and
prostate cancer, nor did they find evidence that testosterone treatment causes
prostate cancer.

In fact, they note that prostate cancer becomes more prevalent exactly at the
time of a man's life when testosterone levels decline. To date, prospective
studies have demonstrated no difference in prostate cancer incidence among
hypogonadal men using testosterone therapy compared to men in the general
population."

Jan. 15, 2004 -- One of doctors' greatest fears about testosterone therapy is
that it may cause prostate cancer. But a new study shows that it won't
increase a man's risk of prostate cancer -- even if he has precancerous
prostate cells.
