Everything you need to know to protect yourself and the men in your life. Early detection saves lives, and it starts with awareness.
Testicular cancer is the most commonly diagnosed cancer in men between the ages of 15 and 35, yet most guys have never been told to check themselves. Unlike many cancers, testicular cancer is highly treatable when caught early, with a survival rate above 95%. But that number drops significantly when the cancer spreads before detection.
問題不在於治療，而在於認知。許多年輕男性不了解預警徵兆，不知道如何進行自我檢查，也不願談論這個話題。這種污名化正奪走寶貴的生命。
The Testicular Cancer Foundation exists to change that. Through education, community support, and awareness initiatives, we're making sure every man has the knowledge he needs to catch this disease early, when it's most beatable.
每年四月，睪丸癌患者社群都會齊聚一堂，以提升大眾對此疾病的認知、分享能挽救生命的資訊，並鼓勵男性每月進行自我檢查。
整個月期間，TCF 透過社群媒體活動、教育講座、合作夥伴推廣活動以及社區募款活動，全面加強宣傳力度。倖存者分享自身經歷，各組織舉辦活動，倡議者則致力於消除社會對男性健康的污名。
在社群媒體上分享關於睪丸癌（TCF）的宣導內容。在您所在的社區舉辦募款或宣導活動。穿著藍色服裝以示支持。與您身邊的男性談談自我檢查的重要性。加入「Cojone Club」，成為全年無休的倡導者。
One of the most common questions we hear: What color represents testicular cancer? For the Testicular Cancer Foundation, the answer is clear, and it's blue.
Colors play a significant role in spreading a message. Pink is synonymous with breast cancer, gold shines for childhood cancer, and blue is the hue that embodies TCF's mission, identity, and commitment to fighting testicular cancer.
While purple has been embraced by many cancer awareness campaigns, diluting its specificity, TCF's choice of blue ensures testicular cancer stands out and gets the attention it deserves.
Blue aligns with the broader men's health movement, from prostate cancer to Movember, creating a cohesive visual link that resonates with young men.
Purple is used across dozens of cancers. Blue gives testicular cancer its own identity, clear, bold, and impossible to overlook.
Strong visual branding drives early detection. Blue breaks through the noise and encourages men to take their health seriously, when it matters most.
Whether you're wearing a wristband, sharing our content, or showing up in blue every April, the color is one of the easiest ways to spark a conversation that could save someone's life.
每月進行一次睪丸自我檢查只需不到兩分鐘，這是早期發現睪丸癌最有效的方法。方法如下：
熱氣能使陰囊放鬆，讓您更容易察覺任何異常。如果這樣有助於檢查，不妨站在鏡子前。
用雙手的拇指和食指夾住睪丸。輕輕地滾動它，觸摸整個表面。
The epididymis, a soft, rope-like structure at the back, is normal. You're looking for hard lumps, smooth bumps, or changes in size or shape.
Don't panic, most lumps are not cancer. But the only way to know for sure is to get checked. A quick ultrasound can give you answers.
睪丸癌可能發生在任何擁有睪丸的人身上，但某些因素會增加罹患風險。了解這些因素有助於您保持警惕。
十幾歲、二十多歲及三十出頭的年輕男性面臨最高風險。
若父親或兄弟曾患有結直腸癌，您的患病風險將顯著增加。
隱睪症的病史是已知最強的風險因素之一。
White men are 4-5x more likely to develop testicular cancer.
若一側睪丸出現精原細胞瘤，另一側睪丸罹患此病的風險也會增加。
感染愛滋病毒的男性，其風險會略為增加。定期接受檢查至關重要。
Knowing the signs means you can act fast. If you notice any of the following, don't wait, schedule an appointment with your doctor.
Most of these symptoms have non-cancerous causes, like epididymitis or a hydrocele. But the only way to rule out cancer is to get checked. An ultrasound is painless and quick. Don't let embarrassment delay a potentially life-saving diagnosis.
提高意識不僅僅是了解事實。以下是您如何在對抗睪丸癌的戰役中發揮實質作用。
四月是睪丸癌宣導月。整個四月期間，睪丸癌基金會等組織將舉辦各類活動、宣傳行動及教育計畫，以提升大眾對睪丸癌的認知，並鼓勵民眾透過自我檢查及早發現病症。
藍色是睪丸癌基金會（TCF）的標誌性宣導色。TCF 選擇藍色，旨在與更廣泛的男性健康運動相呼應，為睪丸癌建立鮮明的識別形象，並有別於許多使用紫色的其他癌症。藍色既大膽醒目、易於辨識，更是對早期篩檢的一項直接呼籲。
雖然整個四月都是睪丸癌宣導月，但像「全國睪丸自檢日」這樣的特定日子，有助於讓人們更關注每月自我檢查的重要性。
About 9,810 new cases of testicular cancer will be diagnosed in the United States in 2026, according to the American Cancer Society. It's most often diagnosed in young and middle-aged men, though it can occur at any age.
是的。睪丸癌是所有癌症中治癒率最高的癌症之一，若能及早發現，存活率可達 95% 以上。即使在較晚期，睪丸癌通常也極具治療可能性。透過每月自我檢查進行早期發現，能顯著改善治療結果。
每月在沖完熱水澡後進行自我檢查。用拇指和食指夾住每側睪丸，輕輕滾動，觸摸是否有硬塊、光滑的凸起，或大小、形狀的變化。附睾（位於後方的柔軟組織）本身是正常的。若發現任何異常，請就醫。
