Men with low testosterone may not develop prostate cancer. Reducing testosterone hormone could reduce the risk of the cancer. Scientists who examined different men discovered that those with the lowest testosterone levels were 20 per cent less likely to get the cancer.
One in eight men will develop prostate cancer, with approximately 46,700 cases a year. But little is known about what causes the disease, unlike most cancers, it does not seem to be linked to obesity, exercise, smoking or alcohol.
Prostate cancer tumours need testosterone to grow, men with lower levels are less likely to get the illness. Reducing the levels of testosterone could unravel ways to diagnose and treat fatal prostate cancers before they can do any harm.
