Talk Cancer

Question:

Good question.  This would be almost (but not quite) like asking for a tonsil transplant.

– Hide quoted text — Show quoted text – I was going to get a discussion going about the advantages of getting a prostate from cadaver but  the thought just seems too morbid. Why would you want a prostate transplant?

Response:

" figured that David was talking about having a healthy prostate, full urinary and sexual function and being cancer free." Ron, if you think about how that surgery might be done, you still have to remove the cancerous gland, and they would probably take the vas deferens and seminal vesicles as they do now to be safe, so it would have the same effects as RP on erectile function. You just might have some ejaculate. Bill Denton RP 2/12/02 PSA .67 Memphis

Dave asked about a prostate transplant. Dave, you are very sincere so don’t ever worry about topics being too morbid…the guys here are amazing and I’d trust them to be able to deal with ANYTHING. Their response about WHY you’d want this is valid. If I may be so bold as to comment on your thought (and tell me if I’m way off base)… I figured that David was talking about having a healthy prostate, full urinary and sexual function and being cancer free. Sorta like a guy who didn’t have a problem to begin with. It’s a fine thought…but doesn’t seem possible. Best of health, Ron B. Chicago

Why not? I do not think much would shake this group up when it comes to topics like this. I think, do not know for sure, that the opposite operation would be much more challenging to do successfully. More variables, and the possible rejection by the body to contend with. Then we’d have to get it taken out again if it did not work! Once was enough for me. Who knows, maybe one day. B.A.

Response:

Is it Walsh who says the prostate causes more trouble than it’s worth, or something like that?  One was enough for me.  I know dogs have prostates but there are lots of successful species that do fine without the damned thing.  Take me off the transplant list. Dave Perry

Uhh, why would anyone WANT one? I.P.
