Testicular self-examination: are primary care physicians teaching this preventive measure?
The author polled 118 family physicians about their screening procedures for testicular cancer in males at risk. Fewer physicians (63%) teach testicular self-examination (TSE) than teach breast self-examination (100%) as part of a periodic health examination. Physicians who examine their own testes or breasts regularly are more likely to examine their patients' testes during a periodic examination and to teach TSE to males at risk. Female physicians are more likely (75%) than male physicians (24%) to teach TSE.
