Testicular Cancer Awareness Month began as a weekly event run by the National Men's Resource Center in early April. It has become a monthly event through the Testicular Cancer Society's sponsorship and outreach. The United Kingdom counterpart is the Orchid male cancer awareness organization.
Testicular cancer is a young man's disease and the most common cancer in men ages 15-40. Any male who has reached puberty is at risk. Nearly 9,000 young men in the United States are diagnosed with testicular cancer yearly. Of those, four percent will die because they didn't catch it soon enough. In addition, 1,280 men were diagnosed with penis and other genital cancers, of which 290, 23 percent, of men will die.
Testicular cancer develops in one or both testicles. If detected early, it is a highly treatable and usually curable form of cancer.
Testicular Cancer Awareness Week and the Get a Grip Campaign is about educating men between the ages of 12 and 50 about the importance of doing a monthly testicular self-exam.
