Prostate Cancer and Testosterone: What Men Are Never Told | #prostatecancer

A prostate cancer diagnosis should not mean loss of strength, vitality, or identity. It should demand better thinking, not narrower care. In this episode, Dr. Stephen Petteruti examines the long-held belief that testosterone fuels prostate cancer. He explains how low testosterone often links to worse outcomes, how long-term androgen deprivation accelerates physical and cognitive decline, and why emerging data supports carefully managed testosterone therapy in selected men. The discussion covers bipolar androgen therapy, PSA misinterpretation, and the real consequences of chronic hormone suppression. This episode focuses on informed decision-making, risk trade-offs, and treating the man, not the number. Watch and decide how you want to approach testosterone, prostate cancer, and long-term quality of life.
