This is brought to you by the article of of man who died of uterine cancer after a kidney transplant


Diflo testified that he told Liew the safest plan was removing the kidney, but the odds of Liew developing the cancer were slim, given its origins in the female reproductive system.

"It would be extremely unusual for a man to get cancer of the uterus," Diflo testified he told Liew, according to the Daily News.


*goggle eyes* Look, yes, it would be unusual. However, I guarantee you that no cancer gives a damn about what sex you are. Hell, they don't even care about what species you are as many experimental models will attest. All they care is do you have blood, do you have growth factors, and oh, btw, IT'S GREAT IF YOU ARE IMMUNOSUPPRESSED.

Now, if they said that they thought the slim chances of developing cancer were due to the autopsy proving it hadn't metasasized, or that this specific cancer doesn't normally go into the kidneys (article doesn't mention the former, I'd have to read up to be able to make a claim on the latter), then, okay, I might say you have an argument.

But, in general, tumor + suppressed immune system from anti-rejection drugs = very very happy tumor.

Class dismissed
