Orchid exists to save men’s lives from testicular, prostate and penile cancers through pioneering research and raising awarenesss. We are the UK’s leading charity dedicated to supporting men and their families who are affected by male specific cancers.

Established in 1996 by a young testicular cancer patient and the oncologist who saved his life, Orchid works to improve the lives of people affected by male cancers via a pioneering, world class research programme, support services and via educational campaigns and raising awareness.

37,000 men will be diagnosed with a male specific cancer this year and sadly these rates are increasing.

• Testicular cancer is the most common cancer for men aged 15-45; each year around 2,000 young men are diagnosed and face the emotional and physical trauma of fighting this disease.
• Prostate cancer is now the biggest cancer threat to men in the UK with over 35,000 cases diagnosed each year; sadly one man dies every hour from this disease.
• Cancer of the penis is thankfully very rare in Europe. It is most often diagnosed in men over the age of 60 years. There are about 400 cases in the UK every year and sadly one in four patients does not survive.
