Im on testosterone injections, can it cause cancer?

[Genetic Freak]

i had to see a specialist a long time ago and they said i would haveto be on testosterone injections. I have heard someplace that the sustanon injections can increase the risk of getting cancer, is this true?

no...!!!

I thought hGH was responsible for this..? Plus I always thought high Estrogen not high test can be responsible for some forms of cancer..?

High test = high estrogen, it could be indirectly caused by injecting due to aromatisation in that case?

I stand corrected. While in labs, testosterone injections have shown to accelerate cancerous growths in mice, such as prostate cancer, there's no conclusive evidence it does in humans.

But technically not nolys, thats my argument... Everyone blames Testosterone, but in many cases its Estrogen that is directly responsible.. Thats why monitoring E2 through regular blood tests, and managing E2 properly on cycle is paramount...
