The sources consistently find no established link between testosterone replacement therapy and increased prostate cancer risk, and the FDA/HHS proposal says available data have not generally shown such an increase, which supports the claim that the concern has been refuted.

The Michael Berry Show · · from the transcriptPost →What we found
Supports. HHS and FDA state that available data have not generally shown an increased prostate cancer risk with testosterone therapy, and they propose revising the labels accordingly.[1]
Supports. A 2026 meta-analysis of 41 randomized trials found no statistically significant increase in prostate cancer events among hypogonadal men treated with testosterone versus placebo.[5]
Supports. A JAMA Network Open randomized trial of 5,246 men found prostate cancer diagnoses were equally low in the testosterone and placebo groups.[2]
Supports. Mayo Clinic states that current evidence does not support a link between testosterone replacement therapy and new prostate cancer, and an NIH review found no study has shown TRT is an independent risk factor.[3][6]
Context. No source identifies the specific study the post refers to or states that it was debunked, and the Reuters report notes current labels still warn of a possible prostate cancer risk until the proposed revisions take effect.[1][4]
