Get A Grip! for Testicular Cancer Awareness Week

http://www.tcaw.org

April 01, 2011

Objective:
To promote education, awareness, and the importance of early detection through monthly self-exams and correct diagnosis of testicular cancer

There will be nearly 9,000 new cases of Testicular Cancer diagnosed during 2010 and 380 young men will die from the disease because they didn't catch it in time.

This public awareness and education program was conceived because of the alarming number of young men presenting advanced, incurable cases of Testicular Cancer (TC). It is designed to promote education, awareness, and the importance of early detection through monthly self-exams and correct diagnosis.

This campaign was designed to eliminate the stigma and embarrassment connected with boys and young men becoming more aware of their bodies and explain the importance and value of doing a self-exam at least monthly. It is essential to "Get a Grip" and promote the importance of self-examination for testicular cancer.
