My best mate is in hospital today having one removed because it has a tumour. Shitty thing is that they have to remove it to find out if the tumour is cancerous or not, so it will be cool if it's benign but he'll still be one man down :/ Anyway, here's a timely reminder to make sure you do the on a regular basis. |

The idea that they have to remove the testicle to check it puts me right off. Why can't they slice open the scrotum, take a fluid/tissue sample and then stitch it back up? |

"Why does it have to come out? How do they know it's cancer and why can't they do a biopsy? Well, they don't necessarily know it's cancer, but statistics indicate that it is very likely that it is -- then add in the fact that more than 95% of testicular tumors are malignant. The only way to tell if it is malignant is by looking at the dissected(!) testicle under a microscope. They cannot do a biopsy because if it is cancer, they do not want to risk disturbing or spreading the cancer while it is still in the body." |

just pop the little bugger out. |

I don't believe that is the only way, inserting a needle directly into the lump and extraction of cells could just as easily be examined under the microscope. I'd do it myself rather than let someone cut off a nut! |

unless you have some sort of medical degree, I'm going with the doctors on this one. |

thats what a biopsy is....sticking a needle in and getting tissue. "They cannot do a biopsy because if it is cancer, they do not want to risk disturbing or spreading the cancer while it is still in the body." |

until I find a good technical explanation why they MUST remove the WHOLE testicle then I am standing my ground. |

I have a huge lmp in my throat(not able to be seen without touching it) but they did a biopsy to check it out and its not cancerous-thank god. But i will continue getting strept throat and feeling throat pains-go figure :D |

it has already been given. you sir, are an ass. |

How would a biopsy spread the cancer? Seriously I don't know much about this subject so please enlighten me. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
that makes no sense...how could the biopsy spread the cancer-jesus. They are simply saying if they fuck with it it may spread. And maybe it has already spread in his balls so the best thing to do is get rid of it. He can still live with one balito |

Ok, so I've read a bit more on that site. They will shine a very bright light through the area to rule out a cyst. They will perform an ultrasound FIRST to determine the chances of the lump being cancerous. Some doctors claim to be able to remove the cancer without removing the WHOLE testicle, only part will be removed, but this may mean that some of the cancer cells are left (bad). They are more likely to want to do this of you only have one testicle to start with, but still experts are against this idea. I hope everything turns out ok for your friend danbrusca, hopefully the tumor was not cancerous. Do you know how early he/they caught it? |

Dunno, i'm going to go see him tomorrow, maybe he will know more then. |

i have one removed...not cos it had a tumor,but it shifted from it place towards up. weird shit i must say... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

|
|
I have had that happen, usually when I am in extreme cold conditions, I always thought it was just a natural protective thing, certainly nothing to remove it over! |
||||||||
|
|

Anyway, I went to visit him today, arriving just in time to find out he was being discharged. The operation was fine and although he has to wait up to 4 weeks for a pathology report on the tumour, the surgeon said he didn't think it looked cancerous, so fingers crossed everything will be OK. |

terrible thing :( at least he'll be happy if it wasn't cancerous... |

I had a tumor in my dick, and so my dick was removed! |

i read this post yesterday and decided to go look if my testicles seemed strange and shit, i think there might be a little lump or something on one of them...i got a massive blow to the balls shortly before that examination so i'm hoping it has something to do with that. |
