College athletes were surveyed about their knowledge and practice of early cancer detection techniques. Males were almost completely unaware of their risk for testicular cancer (87%). Only 9.6% had been taught testicular self-examination and only half of these by their physician. Six percent actually examined themselves regularly. In comparison, more than 60% of women had been taught breast self-examination (75% by a physician) and about one third were doing regular examinations. More than 90% of the young men and women had been seen by physicians for a physical examination within the past 3 years. Physicians need to begin educating males about testicular cancer and its early detection.
