Testicular Cancer Myths

As a disease full of mystery, cancer is often associated with misinterpretations and myth.

For decades, testicular cancer has been mired in myth. Take, for example, the silly notion that riding a bicycle can cause testicular cancer.

Thankfully, AskMen is here to dispel five of the most common testicular cancer myths.
