Testicular Cancer Awareness Month is celebrated in April of each year

About Testicular Cancer Awareness (TCa) Month

Testicular Cancer is a disease largely affecting young and middle-aged men; however: If caught early, testicularcancer usually can be treated successfully!

Caucasian men are about five times more likely to develop testicular cancer than African American men, and the rate amongHispanic men lies between both groups.

This Year, Get in the Game: Discuss TCa Together.

Just like when you’re in the game, teamwork matters—so let’s break the silence, encourage monthly self-exams, prioritize regular check-ups, and support open conversations about health with those we love.

Whereas [city, state] recognizes Testicular Cancer Awareness Month each April, championed by Men’s Health Network, to encourage and discuss testicular cancer with their family and healthcare provider;
