Summary

This study tests whether testosterone replacement (Depo-Testosterone) can improve fatigue, sexual function, and quality of life in 240 young men (ages 18-54) who survived non-hormone-dependent cancers, are in remission for at least a year, and have low testosterone. Participants receive either testosterone or a placebo injection to compare changes in fatigue scores and other outcomes. The goal is to ease lingering symptoms after cancer treatment.
