Testosterone fuels prostate cancer growth
The historical associations are mainly correlations not causation
The relationship is complex. The most current model is linked below.

Prostate growth is exquisitely sensitive to variations in androgen concentrations at very low concentrations, but becomes insensitive to changes in androgen concentrations at higher levels.

There are few bold people (the author of the paper I linked being one of them) treating hypogonad men with active prostate cancer (on surveillance regimens) with TRT (with no progression of cancer)
The best analogy is using a wilted plant. Water (testosterone) may stimulate the plant (prostate) to grow. At some point further watering the plant will not cause it to grow into the size of a Sequoa (cancer)
