heh, ok. I always assumed testicular cancer meant cancer in the testes, what I'm hearing you say is that it's a type of cancer that starts in the testes so it's considered testicular cancer regardless of where it's found.
that makes sense, thank you for the explanation.
- cancerboi 3y agoSometimes it starts in the testes, but in extremely rare cases they believe that it is of primordial origin. For example, when you are developing as an embryo, perhaps the germ cell gets stuck in the chest and takes many years to mutate. But they don’t really know how this works. Very weird stuff.
