NZ testicular cancer campaign encourages going 'balls out'

  • 03/04/2017

A cancer campaign is asking the public to "go balls out" and create cock and ball maps across the New Zealand landscape.

Testicular Cancer NZ is raising awareness this month for the disease, which kills more young Kiwi men than any other cancer.

But if it's caught early, it has one of the highest rates of cure of all cancers.

Testicular Cancer NZ has also released a video to help people spot the signs of the cancer.
