is it A

as anabolic steroids can lead to hepatic adenoma but not hcc, well can someone tell about e, not sure of that too


  #5

i too think itis A.

Acne due to direct stimulation of sebum secretion.
decreased sperm count due to increased peripheral estrogen
increased dirct bilirubin due to cholestasis
aplastic anemia? can be due to inhibitory action on bone marrow??
hepatcellular ca may be the answer.

i amy be totally wrong please correct

Here's what I found on the net:

'AS have also been used in the treatment of refractory anaemia due to bone marrow hypoplasia, aplastic anaemia, osteoporosis and inoperable mamary carcinoma (breast cancer). '
