Here’s the Colombian League Against Cancer’s approach.

It might not be the most imaginative, but we like how the act of scratching (or just adjusting?) your balls is elevated to something almost akin to a birthright, passed from one generation to the next.

Back to the serious: Per the association, 99 percent of men who catch testicular cancer early can expect to be fully cured.
