Detection and early treatment of testicular cancer is instrumental to recovery. To increase your chances of good health, follow MenWeb's instructions for a Testicular Self-Examination.
The Web site says if detected and treated in its early stages, testicular cancer is nearly 100 percent curable. But, too often the cancerous lumps are not discovered until the tumor is in an advanced stage.
