subject: Muscle Building Benefits Of Steroids For Cancer Patients [print this page] Cancer is one of the most feared diseases in the world. This is because it comes in different nature and can at times be untreatable making it more fatal and a death causative agent. Steroid use has been linked to cancer and many people are finding it difficult to engage in steroid use for the fear of such health complications. But the reality is, steroids rarely can cause cancer and if they do, it is not to the extremes as many may take it to be.
Androgenic steroids are mainly of a synthetic version and a natural hormone, which the body metabolizes easily and quickly. This is why the steroids do not put a lot of stress on the body organs. However, there are others which bring about a great stress because they have been artificially manufactured and too strong for the body to hold. The real exception to all these steroids is the continuous use of C17 alpha alkylated types of compounds, which as a result of their chemical alteration, they generate some level of toxicity on the organs for instance the liver. Only in a few cases has the toxicity led to very severe damages of the liver or even went to a fatal condition of causing.
However, we cannot rule out the concept of steroids causing cancer but there are instances proclaimed by steroid users which stand as a base of argument. Some ill patients were reported to have developed kidney cancer out of a very high dosage of steroid use and which was prolonged for a very long duration of time to treat their disease. An advice from specialists is that, as a steroid user or a body builder, always keep of the use of methylated oral substances, and purpose to visit the doctor when under heavy cycles, and cancer will be a forgotten experience.
Prostate enlargement is also a worry for very many male steroid users. It is generally, a cancer which is found in males and causes a swelling of the entire prostate tissues and interferes often with the flow of urine. This is what matures to cancer in males and therefore has to be a subject of concern. Prostate complications are mainly connected and seen to be dependent primarily on the androgenic hormones, and this is particularly the testosterone metabolite DHT which is very strong. Male steroid users must therefore beware of their purchases in steroid, checking out what the constituents of a steroid are to avoid these fatal constituents that are strong enough to develop cancer in their sexual organ.
There is also a probability of estrogen causing some breast cancer in the female steroid users. Though this happens, the connection for prostate enlargement or cancer and a cycle of steroid use is still not fully established. What one can be sure of is that, the steroid intake is dangerous since it aggravates conditions through raising the Androgen level within the body and this is not good for healthy body operation. To be on the safe side be wise and avoid any intake of strong 5-alpha compounds for a healthy body operation.
