The findings explain why prostate cancer progression is associated with increased AR expression (and a common strategy involves blocking AR), while most breast cancers occur post-menopause, after AR production has ceased (making AR supplementation a strategy for treating breast cancer).

"We now see how androgen affects PTEN expression - and ultimately cancer," said Dr. Eng.



So..how does one supplement AR in order to benefit breast cancer? Supplemental Testosterone?
