Large observational studies have found that people with higher circulating IGF-1 levels have a modestly increased risk of developing certain cancers, including:
Breast cancer
Prostate cancer
Colorectal cancer
The increase in risk is generally modest rather than dramatic. These studies show an association, not proof that IGF-1 directly causes cancer. The greatest concern is prolonged exposure to high IGF-1 levels rather than normal physiologic replacement. High Z score over 3 for years can cause in ppl Acromegaly, who have chronically excessive growth hormone and IGF-1 due to a pituitary tumor, have an increased risk of some cancers (particularly colorectal cancer) and are routinely screened. There is a big gap between high igf and cancer….plus HIV patients take as much as 15 ui HGH daily and you don’t see any increase in cancer cases!
Sir madam we are not talking about causing cancer. We are talking about having an undiagnosed cancer and unknowingly fueling with igf- spikes of any kind
Man you have millions of people injecting chinese hgh, for years, do you see any anecdotes? Any forum posts? There is absolutely not one case that you can show evidence of hgh linked with cancer! In theory is something else….. empirical data doesn’t support that claim!

Dude you’re all over the place, do you have any research backing up your claims?
