Do I increase my risk of cancer by taking growth hormone?

Las Vegas Institute of Preventative Medicine
No. There is no reason to believe that natural doses of HGH pose any risk of cancer. Throughout all the research there has been no correlation between HGH and cancer.

This can work to your advantage, allowing you to discover the tumor before it has a chance to metastasize (spread).
