      ab: Testicular cancer (TC) strikes men between the ages of 15 and 35. If detected early, this disease can be irradicated in virtually every patient. Unfortunately, several hundred men will die from this disease each year. Research has shown that men do not know the importance of testicular self-examination, and they are not knowledgeable about TC. Nurses should be able to discuss treatment modalities, sideeffect management related to those treatments, and special issues dealing with sexuality, body image perception, and infertility.
