This study was planned to determine the knowledge of testicular cancer (TC), risk factors and testicular self-examination (TSE) among university students.
A survey study was conducted at a university located in Ankara, Turkey with 634 male students.
Almost half of them (44%) heard TC during their education and life but majority of participants has lack of knowledge about sign and symptoms of TC. Only 5.9 % of them (n = 38) indicated they received information on TSE and 17.7 % have performed the practice of TSE before; only one in a forth (n=21) performed monthly. The reason for not doing TSE was mostly (83.4%) 'not having knowledge' and 'not seen as important' (55.7%).
Adding the education on TC, risk factors and TSE into their curriculum is proposed.
本研究旨在确定大学生对睾丸癌（TC）、危险因素及睾丸自我检查（TSE）的了解情况。
在土耳其安卡拉的一所大学对634名男学生进行了一项调查研究。
几乎一半（44%）的学生在其教育和生活过程中听说过睾丸癌，但大多数参与者对睾丸癌的体征和症状缺乏了解。只有5.9%（n=38）的学生表示他们接受过睾丸自我检查的相关信息，17.7%的学生之前曾进行过睾丸自我检查；其中只有四分之一（n=21）的学生每月进行一次。不进行睾丸自我检查的主要原因大多是（83.4%）“不了解”和“认为不重要”（55.7%）。
建议将睾丸癌、危险因素及睾丸自我检查的相关教育纳入他们的课程。
