Overview

• Only 13% of surveyed adults correctly identified that testicular cancer predominantly affects men aged 20 to 40.
• Two-thirds (65%) of respondents believed screening is more critical after age 40, contrary to guidelines emphasizing self-exams during young adulthood.
• 63% of respondents acknowledged that early detection boosts cure rates, yet only 54% recognised the need for monthly self-examinations.
• Eighteen percent of adults aged 18 to 29 mistakenly believe testicular cancer symptoms always involve pain, risking delayed diagnosis.
• The SSRS survey of 1,008 U.S. adults conducted from May 2 to May 5 has a ±3.6 percentage-point margin of error, confirming the reliability of these awareness findings.
