Movember has detected 2 important news articles on the male cancer front.  

On the 12th of September, 2006 Marvin  Mittelstaedt wrote an article titled “Two Cancers Soar in Young Adults” in the Globe and Mail.  In his story, Mr. Mittelstaedt wrote about the increase in testicular cancer in young men.  He points out (quite alarmingly) that not only is testicular cancer “the most common cancer among young men”, but its incidence has risen 54% in the past twenty years.  AHHHHHHH!

The article goes on to  give a couple of potential reasons for the rise in family jewel melanoma: environmental factors (pesticides, chemicals, and plastics) that mimic human sex hormones and, perhaps, men entering puberty at a younger age. 

Mr. Mittelstaedt brings us some bad news about testicular cancer and its causes.  Unfortunately, he offers us no solution apart from avoiding the environmental culprits in the cancer.  His article is scary.

Conversely, a few months ago, the BBC provided Movember with the following bit of good news.  Movember is not sure of its medical accuracy, but encourages an intensive trial period for this experimental Cancer prevention technique.
