that's right, and who the hell knows, maybe just a mistake in the DNA. So how could this be that both people with no 5ar2 and people with bad androgen receptors--> NO DHT do not get prostte cancer. how ?!docj077 said:HARM1 said:Hello friend ! Could you show me that this is what the medical world belives in ?docj077 said:HARM1 said:Are you saying that DHT only increases the chance for fancer because of more cell dividing ?maddoc23 said:DHT does not cause cancer.
Finasteride and other 5alpha blockers are being studied right now to prevent prostate cancer, but there has not been any definitive data released from those results. Prostate cancer occurs because as men age their prostate grows. Whenever cells divide they have a higher rate of mutation. These mutations tend to lead to cancer. DHT is a known trophic hormone of the prostate, thus why its being looked at to prevent prostate cancer

again, how do you respond to the fact that men with no or very little DHT in their prostate, never get prostate cancer?
You sort of explained it to yourself. No DHT means no hyperplasia. No hyperplasia means no accumulation of mutation. No accumulation of mutation means no cancer.
I don't get a few things:
With no dht or very little dht prostate prostate cell still duplicate, no? So cancer can still happen. maybe in a much less chance, but still a chance. maybe because of the low rate, then is is belived that this people never get it.
what do you say?
Increased circulating estrogens due to obesity are one cause and any disease process that increases insulin levels as insulin has affinity for the IGF-1 receptor on prostate cells. Also, high energy and protein intake has also been assoicated with BPH.
So, there are numerous other causes for BPH and then prostate cancer to occur.
