Probably the biopsy report says carcinoma prostate. Removal of testis is one modality to treat cancer in prostate. It's hormonal treatment for cancer prostate. Purpose is to cut off testosterone from the body which is the required for prostate cancer to grow. There is also an option to remove the whole prostate in selected cases. For that all the reports should be available
