HC Deb 07 November 2002 vol 392 c537W
Mr. Paul Marsden

To ask the Secretary of State for Health what steps he is taking to reduce the incidence of testicular cancer; and if he will make a statement. [79987]

Ms Blears

91 per cent. of men with testicular cancer survive five or more years. Testicular cancer is almost always curable if found early. We have recently worked with Cancer Research UK to produce a new leaflet for men,Testicular Cancer: Spot the Symptoms Early. The leaflet aims to promote testicular awareness for men, explaining that they should know what is normal for them, know what changes to look out for and to report any changes without delay.
