对大学运动员进行了关于早期癌症检测技术知识和实践的调查。男性几乎完全不知道他们患睾丸癌的风险（87%）。只有9.6%的人接受过睾丸自我检查的教育，其中只有一半是由医生进行的。6%的人会定期自我检查。相比之下，超过60%的女性接受过乳房自我检查（75%由医生指导），约三分之一的女性定期进行乳房检查。超过90%的年轻男性和女性在过去3年内接受过医生的身体检查。医生需要开始教育男性睾丸癌及其早期检测。
College athletes were surveyed about their knowledge and practice of early cancer detection techniques. Males were almost completely unaware of their risk for testicular cancer (87%). Only 9.6% had been taught testicular self-examination and only half of these by their physician. Six percent actually examined themselves regularly. In comparison, more than 60% of women had been taught breast self-examination (75% by a physician) and about one third were doing regular examinations. More than 90% of the young men and women had been seen by physicians for a physical examination within the past 3 years. Physicians need to begin educating males about testicular cancer and its early detection.
