The resolution introduced in the Wisconsin State Legislature designates April 2025 and April 2026 as Testicular Cancer Awareness Month. It highlights the significance of raising awareness about testicular cancer, which 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, noting that about 68 percent of diagnoses occur at an early stage, which significantly improves survival rates. It calls for increased education and awareness to encourage men to adopt positive health habits, including regular health examinations and self-examinations. By designating these months for awareness, the resolution aims to promote better health practices and ultimately reduce the incidence and mortality associated with testicular cancer in Wisconsin.
