Oncologic Safety

Meaning

Oncologic Safety is the clinical imperative to ensure that any therapeutic intervention, particularly those involving hormonal manipulation or supplementation, does not increase the risk of developing or accelerating the progression of malignancy. This requires a meticulous risk-benefit analysis, especially when optimizing hormones like testosterone or estrogen, which can influence cell proliferation in hormone-sensitive tissues. Maintaining oncologic safety involves comprehensive screening, careful dosing, and regular monitoring of relevant biomarkers and imaging studies throughout the course of treatment. It is a non-negotiable ethical and clinical boundary in the practice of hormonal health.
