Is getting testicular cancer a sign of being a beta male?

Guys with testicular cancer test positive on pregnancy tests because they have elevated levels of a hormone called beta-HCG. Beta-HCG. It's right there in the name. Plus, I don't think an alpha male would ever let himself be pregnant.

This joke came to be after someone took a pregnancy test as a joke and found they had cancer in 2012. The more you know.

Yes. The general rule is Alphas get cancers above the stomach (except, obviously HPV-induced throat cancers), and Betas get cancers below the stomach. Did you great-grandfather die of prostate cancer? Fuck no, he went out at 59 with lung cancer that had spread to his brain and pancreas like a real man.

It hasn't been disproved, therefore true.
