Why is a book about testicular cancer appropriate for children?
- According to Johns Hopkins, one of Testicular Cancer Awareness Foundation’s Centers of Excellence, “A family history of testicular cancer is [a] common risk factor, with an eight- to twelvefold risk if a man has a brother with testis cancer and a two- to fourfold risk if his father has testis cancer.” This highlights the importance of starting the conversation early, especially with the sons of testicular cancer patients and survivors.
