The Everyman Campaign to fight Testicular Cancer is run by The Institute Of Cancer Research. The Everyman Campaign has gone from strength to strength since it began in 1997. Testicular cancer is the most common cancer amongst young men aged between 20–35. Cases of testicular cancer have risen by 70% in the last 20 years and the reasons are not yet known. If caught early enough, the disease can have a 96% cure rate.
