Low testosterone linked to 18% higher risk of dying from cancer

Low testosterone linked to 18% higher risk of dying from cancer

Feed excerpt — reported by Science Daily

Surprisingly, testosterone itself showed no clear link to prostate cancer, although two other sex hormones did. Researchers believe low testosterone could be an important early warning sign of future health risks, particularly when levels fall below 8.6 nmol/L.
