Have you read that cancer can be detected w/pregnancy test?

Pregnancy tests detect the level of a particular hormone, beta-HGC, in the urine. In pregnancy, the level increases, which is what causes a positive reading on the pregnancy test.\n\nbHCG levels are also raised in testicular cancers, and in "molar pregnancies" in women, a form of cancer in the uterus caused by a genetic disorder where a sperm enters an egg without a nucleus, or where two sperm enter the same egg. This causes formation of a tumour, and the embryo dies early in the pregnancy and is resorbed. \n\nAs far as I am aware, these are the only two types of cancer which cause raised bHCG levels. In a molar pregnancy this would cause raised levels in the urine, but I think in cases of testicular cancer the levels would be raised in the blood rather than the urine.\n\nIf you are concerned that you have some form of cancer, the best thing to do is consult a doctor!!!

No a male can not catch cancer, no one can.  But you can catch HPV which CAN cause cervical cancer.

Yes there are many ways of screening for cancer, blood tests show some forms of cancer, CT Scans, MIR's Mamagrams, ultrsound.

I think so.  I would get a pregnancy test just in case.

it sounds like milk to me, which should not form without a pregnancy but it can happen when you have an overload of hormones, you should see a doctor, and you should stop having sex until you do. breast cancer doesnt happen because you have been pregnant or have taken medicine. it happens to anyone at any age , even men, and no one really knows why,

it is really rare, but usually the doctors will detect at birth, because as they are doing the APGAR they usually do an abdominal examination, and it will feel like a papable mass. This condtion can usually occur with undescended testes, so if they are looking they will find that to in the abdomen

A small percent of the cancer are not detected by mammogram or ultrasound.  Since your doctor can feel it, it needs to be biopsied.  It can be cancer but it can also be other benign things such as a fibroadenoma or cyst.\n\nGood luck

No.  The reason it seems to be increasing is because we have better ways of diagnosing it and catching it early now.  In the not so distant past, most women didn't know how to do self exams or couldn't afford or didn't even know about mammograms.  Birth control pills have hormones that are naturally present in a woman's body, esp. during pregnancy.

A blood test can usually detect early pregnancies.

I assume you are asking about tumor markers. Eating and taking anti-anxiety medication beforehand wil not affect these tests.

Usually a CAT scan will detect either of those or x-ray depending on what type of cancer. Usually, blood work also is effective in detecting abnormal values pointing to the possibility of cancer.

HCG is the hormone that is detected in pregnancy tests, both blood and urine so any pregnancy test will not be accurate.

One day I was very nauseous and after exhausting every other reason for why I could possibly be feeling so awful, I decided to take a pregnancy test. There it was...positive! You still have the same symptoms...you don't need a missing period to figure it out.

yes- it is very possible.  What you should do though is see your doctor for a blood pregnancy test, as this is the most accurate way of testing for pregnancy.

Yes.\n\nA simple swab and a view under a microscope can detect the presence of seminal fluid.\n\nOr the girl could just tell the truth and not have to go through that.

When I was about 7 months pregnant I found a lump and tossed it up to a blocked milk duct. I mentioned it at my next visit, and the ball started rolling. I was diagnosed with breast cancer within 5 days. And unlike someone else said that tumors in the breast are small, my biggest of three tumors was 4cm, rather large.\n\nI guess what I am saying is that it doesn't hurt to get it checked out for your peace of mind. BTW, I was 29 years old with no family history of BC.\n\nI will be thinking good thoughts for you, good luck!
