[Knowledge and early detection of testicular germ cell cancer among adolescents and young adults].

CONCLUSION: The survey shows a gender-specific knowledge deficit on testicular tumors, which is more pronounced among boys. As intensified knowledge transfer on this topic alone is insufficient, a preventive examination should be established especially for boys. This would enable individual, risk-commensurate and needs-adapted monitoring and early detection of testicular tumor disease, but also of other health issues in male adolescents.
