Testicular cancer, often affecting men between the ages of 15 and 45, has a high cure rate of 95% when detected early. However, gaps in public education and awareness often lead to delayed diagnoses, with 500 men in the US dying from the disease each year.

In this interview for Testicular Cancer Awareness Month, Eric Zack, DNP, RN, ACNP-BC, an oncology nurse at Rush University Medical Center, discusses the critical role of early detection, public education, and community partnerships in improving outcomes. Dr. Zack highlights the "Check It Out" program, a community-based initiative that educates high school students about testicular and breast cancer through survivor stories and relatable education.

Discover how clinicians and communities can work together to bridge gaps in awareness, foster open dialogue, and save lives through early detection and education.
