If you are a male reading this, especially if you have male pattern balding or a positive family history, don't neglect these simple tests. They are not that onerous.
I offer this advice as a 7+ year survivor of locally invasive prostate cancer, discovered early because a positive family history prompted me to start getting serial PSAs beginning in my early 50s.

As someone involved in oncology research (the flip side of the coin, gynecological cancers) I second this. We have someone working in our lab who caught their testicular cancer early and is now 2 years cancer free. Pay attention to your body and better yet have someone professional pay attention to it for you.
