Can Intake Of Steroids Lead To Breast Cancer?
Hi some time ago I was using steroids, deca, testosterone, ganabol. I had developed a small mass on my right nipple. I went to a doctor and they operated me to remove the mass. It was not malignant, thank God. Lately I started to use GH and testosterone I noticed like a small mass again on my nipple. Could the use of GH or testosterone lead to breast cancer?

Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
Steroids intake can cause enlargement of breast in male (gynecomastia). Hard tissue there sometimes may give the feeling of cancer but per se steroids can't cause cancer.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. B.dinesh
