ABSTRACT

The author discusses the significance of hormonal dysfunction with concomitant increase in testicular cancer, undescended testicles, and abnormalities of the penis. An extensive study of this disease in six European countries demonstrates an increase in testicular cancer in males born after 1920. Leveling off during the years of the Second World War in Denmark, Norway, and Sweden, and increasing again in men born after 1945 in all six countries. In keeping with our increasingly polluted environment, it is now more common for men, along with women, to be diagnosed with breast cancer. Prostate cancer, like breast cancer, is also not an uncommon disease. While some of the increase may be due in part to improved diagnostic methods, it remains that the increase is real. The author states that the Environmental chemicals with anti-androgenic activity offer profound implications with regard to recent clinical observations. Which suggests an increasing incidence of human male genital malformations, male infertility, and female breast cancer.
