Naming Cancers

Kylie Minogue apparently has breast cancer: so young, so cute.
For a few years now, especially during the Tour de France, we've been reminded that Lance Armstrong had testicular cancer: his recovery heroic.
So tell me: if Kylie has "breast cancer," how come Lance didn't have "testicle cancer"? And if Lance had "testicular cancer," how come Kylie doesn't have "breasticular cancer"?
Shouldn't these doctors have an English teacher take them over the knee?
And if the doctors should be spanked, how about the computer people?

And, since the English teachers did nothing of the kind, shouldn't someone take the English teachers over their knee?
No. Just don't hire them for anything serious. (Uh, pk, we already don't hire them for anything serious.)
