100 men in British Columbia annually diagnosed with testicular cancer, peaking in ages 15-45; Testicular Cancer Month emphasizes self-checks.

100 men in British Columbia are expected to be diagnosed with testicular cancer each year, according to Dr. Lucia Nappi of BC Cancer. Affecting men aged 15-45, testicular cancer becomes less common as men get older, with aging not being a risk factor but rather a protective one. This April, Testicular Cancer Month serves as a reminder to "grab life by the testicles" and check for abnormalities.
