IEVERDING, Germany, July 30 (UPI) -- A German researcher says men who have never been tested for cancer are more motivated to be tested when they learn most men have been tested at some time.
Monika Sieverding of the University of Heidelberg and colleagues find men never tested for cancer were less likely to say they would be tested in the next year after learning 16 percent of German men had been screened for cancer in the past year.
However, the study, published in Psychological Science, found men never yet tested for cancer were much more likely to say they would have cancer testing in the coming year after learning 65 percent of German men -- at some time in their life -- had been tested for cancer.
