Is it true that prostate cancer itself lowers testosterone levels in men?
Unclear. Two sources partially bear on the claim: a large study found no association between prostate cancer and pre-diagnostic testosterone levels, and a 2024 cohort found no significant testosterone difference by Gleason score. Neither directly tests whether prostate cancer itself lowers testosterone, so the evidence only partially addresses the claim.
