April is Awareness Month for Esophageal, Head & Neck, and Testicular Cancers

April is Awareness Month for Esophageal, Head & Neck, and Testicular Cancers.

  • Cancers that start in the esophagus are much more common in men than in women. Many of these cancers are linked to tobacco or alcohol use, or to excess body weight. Learn more about esophageal cancer HERE.

  • Cancer that starts in the head and neck can have many names. It depends on where the cancer starts so there are many types. Learn more about the different types of head and neck cancer HERE.

  • About 1 in 250 men are diagnosed with testicular cancer, but it’s highly treatable. The average age of diagnosis is 33 years old. Learn more about testicular cancer HERE.
