The Wisconsin State Legislature has introduced Senate Joint Resolution 22, which designates April 2025 and April 2026 as Testicular Cancer Awareness Month. This resolution highlights the significance of testicular cancer, noting that it is the most common cancer among men aged 20 to 40 and the second most common among boys aged 15 to 19. The resolution cites statistics from reputable sources, such as Johns Hopkins Medicine and the American Cancer Society, indicating that approximately 9,910 men in the U.S. are diagnosed with testicular cancer annually, with an estimated 460 related deaths each year.

The resolution emphasizes the importance of early detection and education regarding testicular cancer, as a significant percentage of diagnoses occur at an early stage, leading to higher survival rates. It advocates for increased awareness and encourages men to adopt positive health habits, including regular health examinations and self-examinations. By designating these months for awareness, the legislature aims to promote education and proactive health measures among men in Wisconsin.
