No studies have shown that taking DHEA will decrease the risk of cancer in humans. In women who have been through menopause, higher DHEA levels are associated with an increased risk of breast cancer, but if a woman has not yet been through menopause the exact opposite is seen. Higher DHEA levels are also associated with increased risk of ovarian cancer.
