Loose Women fans praise 'brave' Jake Quickenden as testicles are checked live on-air LooseMen jake
Jake Quickenden has been praised for his bravery, after getting his testicles checked live on-air on a special Loose Men episode of ITV's Loose Women.
Before undergoing the check, which all came out fine, Jake explained to the all-men panel, including Vernon Kay, Olly Murs, Ade Adepitan and Larry Lamb, that he lost both his father and brother to cancer .Jake said: "For me, not checking is a way of putting it to the back of my mind and not worrying about it. Sometimes, I think that if I got checked and felt something, it would eat away at me.
Jake stood up during the examination, whereas normally patients would be lying down, and he took it in his stride as Dr Khan checked for obvious swelling, discolouration and scarring. Fans of the show rushed to heap praise on Jake for his bravery, as one person tweeted: "Top respect to #LooseMen, Jake Quickenden and the Doc for showing how easy it is to save a life, and one day it could be your own."

Long-Term Risk of Breast Cancer after Diagnosis of Benign Breast Disease by Screening MammographyAssessing the long-term risk of breast cancer after diagnosis of benign breast disease by mammography is of utmost importance to design personalised screening strategies. We analysed individual-level data from 778,306 women aged 50–69 years with at least one mammographic screening participation in any of ten breast cancer screening centers in Spain from 1996 to 2015, and followed-up until 2017. We used Poisson regression to compare the rates of incident breast cancer among women with and without benign breast disease. During a median follow-up of 7.6 years, 11,708 (1.5%) women had an incident of breast cancer and 17,827 (2.3%) had a benign breast disease. The risk of breast cancer was 1.77 times higher among women with benign breast disease than among those without (95% CI: 1.61 to 1.95). The relative risk increased to 1.99 among women followed for less than four years, and remained elevated for two decades, with relative risk 1.96 (95% CI: 1.32 to 2.92) for those followed from 12 to 20 years. Benign breast disease is a long-term risk factor for breast cancer. Women with benign breast disease could benefit from closer surveillance and personalized screening strategies.
