A survey to asess what young men know about testicular cancer and to determine awareness and practice of testicular self-examination (TSE) was conducted among 266 male graduate and undergraduate students at the State University of New York at Buffalo. Findings indicate that the majority of young men were either uninformed or misinformed about their risk of getting testicular cancer and about the symptoms of testicular cancer. Only 16% of respondents had heard of TSE before the survey, and only a small percentage of these individuals reported doing TSE on a routine basis. The findings from this study point out the need for increased public education directed at symptom recognition, especially at the high school and post-high school levels.
