Testicular cancer is a disease of young men, so it is very important that you perform monthly self-exams (prostate cancer is a disease usually associated with older men). The sooner testicular cancer is detected, the better the prognosis and cure rate.
Please go to the Testicular Cancer Resource Center which explains how to conduct a self-exam. If you have additional questions or would like to speak with someone, please call Nurse Consult at 438-7676 or the Health Promotion Office at 438-5948.
Testicular self-exam cards are available in the Health Stop Resource Center (SSB 228) and at the G-Spot.
