Testicular Cancer Research Opportunities: ^†

The TCRC is helping a number of researchers investigating the influence of genetics on testicular cancer. They are looking for the following:

Families where more than one member of the family has had testicular cancer OR
Families where one person in the family has had testicular cancer and another person in the family was born with an undescended testicle OR
Anyone who has had bilateral testicular cancer. In other words, testicular cancer in both testicles, not necessarily at the same time.

If you or your family are eligible for this study, please click HERE and send me a brief explanation of the details. I will pass this information on to the researchers, and they will contact you with a complete explanation of the study.
