Am I Doing OK – Research Insights on Pursuing Goals and Quality of Life After Testicular Cancer

Don’t Give Up on Testicular Cancer

Michael A. Hoyt, PhD, is a professor of population health and disease prevention at the University of California - Irvine, Joe C. Wen School of Population and Public Health. He is an expert in biobehavioral cancer survivorship research and a leader in behavioral medicine and clinical health psychology.

Dr. Hoyt discusses how the biological side of a disease or chronic disease intersects with the behavioral side of our body. He started his dissertation research to understand how men regulate their emotions when they have cancer. He expanded his research to study where biology fits into the psychological interactions men experience with cancer.
In this podcast episode of Don't Give Up on Testicular Cancer, Dr. Hoyt shares his research outcomes on life after testicular cancer. His research discussions with young men who survived testicular cancer found one question posed most often by them, "Am I doing okay?" Learn more about his research on that question in the podcast from the Max Mallory Foundation.
