HCG and past cancer diagnosis?

[gymrat350]

8 years cancer free, colon 3c diagnosis.

Would HCG be something that if taken with TRT show up on my tests as a positive for cancer????

Does anyone here that had beaten cancer take HCG????

Any issues with blood work while testing for cancer????

Not looking to add to our family, just curious if the benefits of HGC outweigh the potential for false positive cancer tests...

Some tumors might produce HCG so HCG is a marker for some cancers like testicular cancer

I had cancer and I use HCG. Testicular cancer patients are monitored closely when on HCG, though.

Does HCG Cause Cancer? High HCG Blood Levels Are Linked to Cancer

Post testicular cancer and considering testosterone and HCG


From an email between two doctors (Rotman and Saya)

Patient with history of testicular cancer , beta hcg is marker for follow up. Will external hcg affect those levels? Do you know?​

Answer: Yes, hCG will show up on a serum beta hCG lab assay. However, the measured levels with our TRT-related low dosages will usually only measure in the 1-5mIU range. I would suggest a patient HOLD any hCG injections for 1 week before a serum hCG test - this would assure that any elevation in beta hCG is NOT attributed to the HCG injections and would warrant further investigation regarding testicular cancer.
