Science doesn’t support the links between steroid use and brain cancer

Norm Fost, the professor of Wisconsin’s University, claims about certain common misconceptions connected with anabolic steroids. Although some specialists note about serious and even life-threatening undesirable reactions of anabolic steroids, the physician Fost denies these affirmations, claiming that they don’t have any scientific basis.
But affirmations of Norm Fost are not so frequently quoted by media as affirmations about severe undesirable symptoms of steroids. Thus, the message of Norm Fost that steroids are not so harmful, as it is believed, is written once for every 500-time affirmation that steroids represent a real evil.
Moreover, editors usually mislead readers, writing the quotes of Norm Fost incorrectly. For example, a headline of a radio talk sounds following: “UW-Madison doctor: steroids aren’t harmful at all”. The headline is wrong. It is misleading. Norm Fost has never confirmed that steroids were not harmful at all. It is evident that these preparations can cause different negative results. Norm doesn’t deny risks of occurring side symptoms. In fact, this specialist says some other things. This specialist notices that possible risks of steroids are essentially exaggerated. This specialist denies the affirmation that steroids lead to the rare type of brain cancer. According to certain sources, this led to the death of Lyle Alzado, a player of the NFL. Dr. Fost confirms that there is no any link between the death of this player and steroids.
Alzado demonized his prolonged steroid abuse for the primary brain lymphoma that finally caused his death. Assertion of this person was the only evidence that indicated about the connection between his intake of steroids and the brain cancer.
But a question appears here. Why did Alzado make public his steroid use, blaming anabolic steroids for his illness? Couldn’t you find this fact strange?
Actually, it was said that AIDS had suppressed his immune system and induced destroying his body by the primary brain lymphoma.
A pathologist said that Alzado had had T-cell lymphoma that was linked with AIDS. According to Dr. Thomas DeLoughery, Alzado feared that the public would know that he died from AIDS because of the cancer.
Pathologists at OHSU reported that this football player had had B-cell lymphoma which was not connected with HIV or AIDS.
The doctor DeLoughery explained the case. He noticed that T-cells of this person were inflamed but the malignant cells were B-cells.
While specialists disputed about AIDS and the type of cancer which Lyle Alzado had, no one of them confirmed about connection between his brain lymphoma and intake of steroids.
