title: Raising awareness and detection of testicular cancer in young men.
abstract: Testicular cancer mainly affects men in their reproductive years and its incidence in the UK is rising. Although it is curable if treated early, many men are not aware of the symptoms associated with the disease. Until recently, there have been few campaigns to raise men's awareness of their health in general or their awareness of testicular cancer in particular. This project's aim was to evaluate the understanding that young men in the West Midlands had of testicular cancer and methods for its detection.
