This came up in Google news today.
While it's very brief, and lacks detail, it points to information that I should get more involved with before assenting to the new androgen deprivation therapy (ADT) that Dr Burgess suggested yesterday.
While I don't think my genes are expressing much in the way of cardio-vascular risks, based on family history, I still wonder about the general lack of testosterone as being a very good thing.
This article has a bit more content, and yes it seems the trade off is cancer vs cadio-vascular disease.
However, this article points out risks to the skeletal system.
One thing that remains dubious for me is that all three posts I have cited are on sites largely made of "click bait" so they are more about advertising than medical content. I haven't really found the actual source material to read. More on this later if I find it.
