Prostate cancer tumors may thrive on testosterone but they were/are caused by too much estrogen. LOW testosterone and the resultant estrogen dominance will get the prostate tumor going. At that point the only thing to do is shut the supply of testosterone down to zero. Breast cancer is also caused by too much estrogen and in women the answer is usually to shut the woman's supply of estrogen down to zero. I wonder how much research has been done in reducing men's estrogen levels to zero in the face of a prostate cancer diagnosis. 87% of men with low testosterone refuse to get treated for it. This destroys marriages, ruins careers, shortens lives. I can't think of anything else that is as easily treatable that has such a resistant mindset among the sufferers. Its really sad.
