There was a thread where it had been discussed . Mainly peats answer to an email about 5adhp, where he mentions it might be carcinogenic. But IIRC someone brought up that progesterone was also shown to be carcinogenic, that's where I tapped out .I’ll have to do a review of the literature and get back to on this within a week to month from now.
The question is what overall effect does it have on the brain and cellular physiology? Whereas progesterone and its neurosteroids promote glucose metabolism, increased healthy function in the brain, and blood flow. If there is a tumor does it promote tumor growth by virtue of it being essential for cellular function much like eating food or drinking water or breathing? Remember tumors need nutrients too and many chemo drugs work by starving or poisoning the tumor (and the rest of the body) instead of correcting the underlying issue (such cancer metabolism).
In the meantime I would like to state that the biochemical action of Ru486 is complex meaning it does many things than simply act as a selective progestin modulator due to its broad action and metabolites. It may have a progesterone like action on cells whereas the metabolites cause a suppression of progesterone metabolites such as neurosteroids. It was found to lower cortisol which can help reduce fatty acid oxidation and ischemia in some cases. Simplifying it to a single hormonal action is being reductionist so I need to look at the literature to see it’s in vivo end results.
See this paper for example: https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/abs/10.3109/09513590.2012.638754?journalCode=igye20
So I'd appreciate some clarification on that .
Edit: it was this thread
