[QUOTE="Nelson Vergel, post: 35844, member: 3"] [I]T[/I]he official advice on whether men should regularly check their testicles for signs of cancer is: no, don't do it. But ever since he discovered a lump at the age of 17, health policy researcher Michael Rovito has been on a one-man mission to change the minds of the medical establishment. The lump turned out not to be a tumor, but the experience led Rovito to study in graduate school how best to communicate with men about the risks and signs of testicular cancer. He's since published a series of papers arguing how and why doctors should tell their patients to check their testicles regularly. And he's even started a nonprofit — the [URL="http://www.mhinitiative.org/our-mission/"]Men's Health Initiative[/URL] — to push his message.
