This Labor Day, remember to check in with yourself. Testicular cancer is highly treatable when detected early. A simple self-exam in the shower can make all the difference. Perform a self-check once a month to know what's normal for you, and take charge of your health today. Learn how to do a self-exam—it could save your life.

TCF provides education and support to young adult males to raise awareness about testicular cancer.
About us
ABOUT: We are a team of survivors, caregivers and advocates with a passion to increase education and awareness about the most common cancer in males ages 15-34 – Testicular Cancer. Fighting a disease that effects a demographic that is young and feels invincible is an uphill battle, but we are taking it head on. Being the only full-time staffed testicular cancer group, and leading provider of education materials in the country; it is our mission (and obligation) to insure every male knows the warning signs of the disease, and how to perform a testicular self exam. HISTORY At the age of 22, TCF founder, Matt Ferstler was diagnosed with testicular cancer. Frustrated that he didn’t not know the warning signs, importance of a testicular self exam, or that he was susceptible to this disease, he turned his frustration into action. In 2009 the Testicular Cancer Foundation was born, and has since been a driving force in the men’s health/testicular cancer arena since.
