April is Testicular Cancer Awareness Month, a time dedicated to raising awareness about the most common cancer in men 15-44.
Early detection is key, often eliminating the need for additional surgeries, chemotherapy, or radiation. It also eases the financial and emotional burden on patients and their families.
This month, we encourage you to take action to help raise awareness and support the fight against this disease.
Together, we can increase awareness, save lives and make a meaningful difference.

Symptoms: Testicular cancer often shows up as a painless lump, swelling, or change in the size or feel of a testicle. You might also notice a dull ache, a heavy feeling in the scrotum, or breast tenderness. Early signs are usually painless (but not always), so regular monthly self-exams are key.
Risk Factors: Testicular cancer is the most common cancer in men ages 15-44, though it can strike at any age. On average, one man is diagnosed every hour, with 9,720 new cases expected in the U.S. in 2025. The average age at diagnosis is just 33. Despite being highly curable—over 95% if caught early—it is projected that 600 deaths will occur in the United States in 2025. 1 in 250 males will be diagnosed with testicular cancer in their lifetime.
Testicular Self-exams: Self-examination of both testes is important for early detection of testicular cancer. The most common method of early detection is performing a monthly self-exam. It’s as easy as 1, 2, 3, 4.
- Cup - Cup one testicle at a time using both hands; this is best performed during or after a warm bath or shower.
- Examine - Examine by rolling the testicle between thumb and fingers; use slight pressure.
- Familiarize - Familiarize yourself with the spermatic cord & epididymis; tube-like structures that connect on the back side of each testicle.
- Feel - Feel for lumps, change in size or irregularities; it is normal for one testes to be slightly larger than the other.
