Hey I was just curious what you guys think about steroids accelerating cancer growth. Do you guys even consider getting checked before starting a cycle?

Thanks for the link Cape - didn't see the thread, otherwise.

And how exactly do you propose one get checked? Many of the tumor markers are non-specific and often only show up when cells have clustered to form an aggregate mass. Many cancers are clinically asymptomatic until progression to satellite tissues. Even metabolic and perfusion radiology isn't sensitive enough to detect cancerous cells at very early stages. Lastly, most insurance underwriters would not authorize said diagnostics unless there was a clear clinical need.Originally Posted by djs2224

There are so many things that can supposedly cause cancer if we based all our decisions off them we wouldn't even be able to eat or drink anything....
It will not accelerate cancer growth like growth hormone or IGF-1...In this case, there is scientific proof it absolutely can increase the spread of cancer...

The second paragraph is partially correct. IGF-mediated pathways have become a very popular target for cancer therapies. A number of molecules classified as tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs, for short) are being used to block signal transduction cascades involved in the proliferation of malignant cells. For example, mTor (mammalian target of rampamycin) a phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase-related kinase protein which regulates cell growth, proliferation, motility, survival, protein synthesis, and transcription, when suppressed improves progression free survival by slowing the spread of the disease. Unfortunately inhibition of mTor on slows disease progression for 10-12 months.
The evidence to date shows that, IGF pathways and their role in mutagenesis is an important factor but also an incomplete target for eradicating cancer.
Like most diseases, its often a constellation of factors driving mutagenesis and not one single trigger or pathway.

Looks like he's trying to run away in his avi!
So, MI, what's your opinion on GH use and pituitary microadenomas since it's a related subject?
