CG is what causes both lines to turn red. HCG in men can be a sign of a rare (and dangerous) form of testicular cancer — choriocarcinoma. This is a cancer made up of syncytiotroblastic cells, The tumor secretes HCG because thats what syncytiotroblasts do. They secrete HCG. And they dont particularly care whether theyre secreting it into a man or a woman. The good news: Men should know that their chances of developing a choriocarcinoma are extremely rare. A 2002 paper in the Canadian Journal of Emergency Medicine reported that only about 2 men in 100,000 will get any kind of testicular cancer. Pure choriocarcinomas — the dangerous kind that Im talking about here — make up less than 1% of those diagnoses. Its not clear whether the man has a pure choriocarcinoma, or a much-less-deadly form of testicular cancer that happens to incorporate some syncytiotrophoblasts
