12	12	Wisconsin.
13	13	Whereas, testicular cancer is the most common cancer among men between the

18	18	30s, with an average age of diagnosis of approximately 33 years of age; and
19	19	Whereas, while the average age of men diagnosed is 33 years of age,
20	20	approximately 6 percent of cases occur in children and teens, and approximately 8
21	21	percent will occur in men over 55 years of age; and

42	42	Whereas, there will be an estimated 460 testicular cancer-related deaths this
43	43	year; and
44	44	Whereas, according to the American Society of Clinical Oncology, the number
45	45	of cases associated with testicular cancer has seen an increase over the course of
46	46	several decades; and
47	47	Whereas, the increase of testicular cancer cases is attributed to men being less
48	48	likely to schedule regular health examinations and give self-examinations for a
49	49	variety of common diseases; and
50	50	Whereas, approximately 68 percent of testicular cancer diagnoses are made in
51	51	the early stage; and
52	52	Whereas, the survival rate is higher for men diagnosed with early stage
53	53	testicular cancer rather than later stage testicular cancer; and
54	54	Whereas, greater education on testicular cancer will encourage men to
55	55	introduce positive health-related habits into their lives; now, therefore, be it
56	56	Resolved by the assembly, the senate concurring, That the Wisconsin
57	57	State Legislature designates April 2024 as Testicular Cancer Awareness Month in
58	58	Wisconsin.
