The mission of the NOCC is to save lives through the prevention and cure of ovarian cancer and to improve quality of life for survivors and their caregivers. Nearly 19,800+ women in the United States are diagnosed with ovarian cancer each year, and approximately 12,800+ women die from the disease. Unfortunately, most cases are diagnosed in later stages when the prognosis is poor. However, if diagnosed and treated early when the cancer is confined to the ovary, the five-year survival rate is over 90 percent. This is why it’s imperative that the early signs and symptoms are recognized not only by women, but by their families and the healthcare community.

The Testicular Cancer Awareness Foundation is committed to raising awareness and educating the public about the most common cancer in men ages 15–44, while providing lifesaving support to patients, survivors, and caregivers with compassion and care. Our Mission? Awareness . . Support . . Survivorship We are a nonprofit compassionately dedicated to the fight against testicular cancer through awareness and outreach, promoting the importance of monthly self-exams for early detection, support and guidance to patients and families, providing a resource for the medical community, providing financial assistance to those in need and continuing to save lives. We stress the importance of early detection through the practice of monthly testicular self-exams (TSE), just as women are taught to detect early signs of breast cancer through monthly breast self-exams. We are fighting to make TSE part of health education classes taught at the middle school, high school, and college levels. We seek to reduce the great stigma and taboo associated with talking about testicular health; most teenagers and young men are embarrassed to openly talk about their bodies and the changes taking place. We do this simply by talking about testicular cancer, its impacts and how to recognize the signs through regular testicular self-exams. We assist patients in seeking the most effective treatments for testicular cancer that yield the best outcomes. Testicular cancer is not as common as many of the other cancers and as a result some medical facilities are inexperienced in the treatment of this disease and may be unaware of the most effective protocols. It is crucial when diagnosed with testicular cancer that the patient has access to the most reliable and expert care that yields the best treatment plans and outcomes resulting in lifesaving measures. We seek to reduce the financial burden of a testicular cancer diagnoses by empowering the patient with resource information for financial assistance through the use of online fundraising tools. We also provide limited funding to those in immediate financial need, including helping with gas, groceries and more. We provide an online private support group to help connect those who have been affected by this disease. The role of emotional and psychological support in the management of testicular cancer is extremely important and vital to an individual's overall well-being. We have over 4,000 active members in our private support group, fostering a strong and supportive community through meaningful conversations.
