What my doctor has told me, after attending a urology + prostate cancer conference, is to think of the prostate as a sponge that absorbs testosterone. And once the sponge overflows, prostate cancer can be triggered.

But once cancer has occurred, adding more testosterone doesn't matter because the sponge is already super-saturated.

In fact, doctors who have this perspective will permit men with prostate cancer to continue testosterone therapy.
