Dr. Abraham Morgentaler and colleagues have published a series of papers on the relationship of testosterone and prostate cancer. The good news for men with low testosterone is that the evidence now strongly suggests that treatment with testosterone does not cause any increased risk of cancer. The concerning news, though, is that new data suggest that men who do have low testosterone may be at a somewhat increased risk of already having a hidden prostate cancer.

Since prostate cancer is completely curable when discovered early, Dr. Morgentaler and the staff at Men's Health Boston encourage men with low testosterone to undergo testing for this.
