Unmasking the truth about Testosterone and Prostate Cancer

There is no relationship between a man's testosterone level and his risk of developing prostate cancer. Studies have shown that testosterone therapy doesn't increase the risk of prostate cancer or make it more severe in men who have already been diagnosed. Today’s guest Dr. David Yablonsky and I discuss why the medical establishment has had a false assumption that testosterone replacement therapy increases a man’s risk of prostate cancer. We also deep dive not only in to his clinical experience but also his personal experience with prostate cancer.
