Summary
*Testosterone Directly Suppresses Brain Tumor Growth in Males by 38% Cleveland Clinic research funded by NIH shows testosterone binds androgen receptors in glioblastoma stem cells — the root of tumor recurrence — and cuts growth by 38% when levels are restored. Dave breaks down why the mainstream framing of testosterone and cancer risk has it backwards, what androgen deprivation therapy may be doing to every other cancer pathway simultaneously, and why your hormone panel is now a cancer conversation, not just a performance one.
