Ovarian Cancer In Men

"Ovarian" means "pertaining to the ovaries", just as "testicular" means "pertaining to the testicles".
If a person has no [X] and never had [X], they can never get cancer of the [X]. Thus, a person born without ovaries can never get ovarian cancer, and a person born without testes can never get testicular cancer.
However, a transsexual man who was formerly a biological woman could definitely get ovarian cancer, and some do.
You seem surprised that people wonder if you're kidding. It's just possible that the ID you've chosen leads them to take you less seriously than you'd like.

This is a part of a woman's reproductive organs, so "no" men do not get ovarian cancer.

I don't know if you are serious or just being a jerk!!! Ovarian cancer is no joke, it is deadly. As men do not have ovaries, it is not something they have to worry about.
what men do have is testicles, and testicular cancer is no more funny than ovarian cancer.

i know that there are alot of unknowns about cancer out there but ARE YOU KIDDING ME!!!! before you ask such stupid questions you might what to know what is you are asking. since ovaries are only in women no you can not get ovarian cancer. on the other hand you can get breast cancer . men and women can both get this. please don't make light of a condition that kills so many women every year.
