Why are cancers of the adrenal glands more common among women? Why are prognoses worse for them? A team of scientists led by a researcher answers these questions.
They demonstrate that, in male mice, there is greater recruitment of immune cells known as macrophages, which can eliminate tumor cells. Hence, aggressive tumor progression is scarcely seen in male mice; while in female mice, macrophages do not slow the growth of tumors, which eventually metastasize. Through molecular analyses, the team determined that recruitment of tumor-fighting macrophages depends on testosterone.
After simple administration of the hormone to females, macrophages able to eradicate tumor cells were rallied to battle. On the basis of these findings, the scientists conducted another study using data on humans, which revealed the same difference in macrophage recruitment rates between men and women with adrenal cancers.
This discovery suggests the potential of hormonal stimulation as a treatment for this type of cancer, whose five-year survival rate is less than 30%.

It’s good to know a common treatment could be helpful for women.
That could produce interesting side effects to say the least.
No, probably not...women need testosterone too...as long as it is in balance with other hormones.
Tney dont need extra though. Aga8n extra mess3s with balance.
Interview with a female bodybuilder. Average man has 25-50 times testosterone as average woman. Female bodybuilder was doping with T. They only gave her enough to double her own natural level. So she’d be 12-25 times less than an average man.
She came right out and said she had no idea how men are able to control themselves. Just with double her T, she said she was a lot more angry, picking fights, pissed off, and very horny. Her words. She had no idea how guys make it through the day without losing it.
So no, extra T really isn’t great idea for the less stable sex.

For one thing you do not heal properly or build muscle.
If your level is low you should try losing weight and lifting weights to bring it up naturally.
Any sort of supplements should be as a last resort but never taken off the table.
