Below in quotes are some recent studies. You will have to Google to read the articles.

"Testosterone replacement therapy following definitive treatment for prostate cancer: a scoping review of safety and efficacy | International Journal of Impotence Research"
Conclusion: TRT does not increase the advancement of prostate cancer and may actually decrease cancer growth. 11/26/25 summary of 12 studies.

"Testosterone and prostate cancer: What's the connection? - Mayo Clinic"
Conclusion: Studies have shown that testosterone replacement therapy doesn't seem to increase the risk of prostate cancer returning. 10/29/25

"youtube.com/watch?v=Pb3ENO3oSso&t=1381s – Kristen Geiger and Alex Scholtz, “TRT After Prostate Treatment”. Recommend TRT for treated patients."

"Testosterone Supplementation After Prostate Cancer Treatment
YouTube - ISSM International Society for Sexual Medicine - Dr. Mohit Khera (Baylor College of Medicine) and Dr. Gerald Brock (Western U. London) explain the evolving view on testosterone and prostate cancer, noting a shift from seeing testosterone as harmful to recognizing potential therapeutic or preventive roles. Low testosterone is linked to higher risk of high-grade cancer, recurrence, and poorer erectile recovery. 3/28/25"
