Does anyone have any first hand knowledge of someone that has cancer due to steroid use /abuse? Not studies, but actual first hand knowledge.

Never heard of steroids causing or directly blamed for cancer...but Gh has been liked to speeding up any genetic quirks anyone might have in their system like cancer or leukemia...

yes and it is also given to people with mucle wasteing conditions and seen a report that said some of the people who took anadrol got liver cancer due to this medication (around 200mgs for 30 weeks)

so you realy think there is no link between cancer and steroids ?

**Lexed** · 12-24-2007, 02:59 PM

no studies have been shown so (no) excpet for the anadrol but thats for medical purposes and the dosages and the time on is many times more then a average bodybuilder

**dupa95** · 12-24-2007, 02:59 PM

Show us the study

i think in the next 20 years you will start to here more deaths regarding steroid use .

**dupa95** · 12-24-2007, 03:05 PM

This was a study of Anadrol -50

Peliosis hepatis, a condition in which liver and sometimes splenic tissue is replaced with blood-filled cysts, has been reported in patients receiving androgenic anabolic steroid therapy. These cysts are sometimes present with minimal hepatic dysfunction, but at other times they have been associated with liver failure. They are often not recognized until life-threatening liver failure or intra-a**ominal hemorrhage develops. Withdrawal of drug usually results in complete disappearance of lesions.

Liver cell tumors are also reported. Most often these tumors are benign and androgen-dependent, but fatal malignant tumors have been reported. Withdrawal of drug often results in regression or cessation of progression of the tumor. However, hepatic tumors associated with androgens or anabolic steroids are much more vascular than other hepatic tumors and may be silent until life-threatening intra-a**ominal hemorrhage develops.

A two-year carcinogenicity study in rats given oxymetholone orally was conducted under the auspices of the US National Toxicology Program (NTP). A wide spectrum of neoplastic and non-neoplastic effects was observed. In male rats, no effects were classified as neoplastic (tumor) in response to doses up to 150 mg/kg/day (5 times therapeutic exposures with 5 mg/kg based on body surface area). Female rats given 30 mg/kg/day (1 fold the maximum recommended clinical dose of 5 mg/kg/day based on the body surface area) had increased incidences of lung alveolar/bronchiolar adenoma and adenoma or carcinoma combined. At 100 mg/kg/day (about 3 fold the maximum recommended clinical dose of 5 mg/kg/day based on BSA), female rats had increased incidences of hepatocellular adenoma and adenoma or carcinoma combined; the combined incidence of squamous cell carcinoma and carcinoma of the sweat glands also was increased.

Human data: There are rare reports of hepatocellular carcinoma in patients receiving long-term therapy with androgens in high doses. Withdrawal of the drugs did not lead to regression of the tumors in all cases.
