April is Testicular Cancer Awareness Month which raises awareness about testicular cancer and educates young men about early detection and treatment.

Did you know that the cure for testicular cancer was developed in 1974, close to 50 years ago?

Testicular cancer is a form of cancer that occurs in a part of the male reproductive system, the testicles. Its symptoms include a lump in the testicle or swelling or pain in the scrotum.

Testicular cancer mainly develops in young men between 20-35 years old. This form of cancer is highly treatable and curable, with a 90% chance of success if detected early.

It only takes 2 minutes a month to check your testicles for the signs and symptoms of testicular cancer – and it could save your life.
