Join the fight against testicular cancer this month and help raise awareness about prevention, screening, and treatment options.
Get ready to raise awareness and support for Testicular Cancer Awareness Month this April 1! This month-long observance was created by the Testicular Cancer Society in order to educate and inform people about this often overlooked form of cancer. Did you know that testicular cancer is the most common cancer in men ages 15-35? But with early detection, it has a high survival rate – making it all the more important to spread awareness and encourage regular screenings. So let's come together this April and help make a difference in the fight against testicular cancer.
