My 80-year-old grandfather has prostate enlargement and the doctor recommended testicle removal surgery but he also has prostate cancer is this surgery safe for him given his condition?
Testicle removal surgery (orchiectomy) is a form of hormone therapy for prostate cancer and can be used to manage prostate enlargement, but it's not a common treatment for prostate cancer alone. The decision of whether to proceed with the surgery needs to be made based on individual factors, including the severity of prostate enlargement, the stage and aggressiveness of prostate cancer, and the patient's overall health and life expectancy
