PRINCE GEORGE – Testicular cancer in Canada remains one of the most underreported cancers affecting men. However, early detection is crucial, as it significantly increases the chances of survival.

The Canadian Cancer Society states that the 5-year survival rate for people diagnosed with testicular cancer in Canada is 97%. However, untreated cancer can spread beyond the testicle.

People often avoid discussing their health due to embarrassment or discomfort with sensitive topics like testicular cancer. Many believe they are unlikely to be at risk, which leads to hesitance in seeking help. This creates a significant barrier to receiving timely diagnoses.
