Do pregnancy tests really detect testicular cancer?

Yes, to an extent they can hint if a male partner has testicular cancer as males too release the hCG hormone during tumors and cancers of the testes. However, this is not a final diagnosis. Consult a doctor if you have tested positive in a home pregnancy test.
