The Testicular Cancer Network is a consortium of testicular cancer awareness, support & research charities working together to save lives across the UK.

Our vision is to ensure that everyone has the best chance of surviving testicular cancer.

Our member charities are committed to promoting Testicular Cancer Awareness Month in April.

Testicular Cancer is the most common cancer in men aged 15-45.

It is 96% curable if detected early.

Checking yourself once a month could save your life - and it only takes a minute to learn how.
