Why does breast cancer get more attention than other cancers?!
Question: Why does breast cancer get more attention than other cancers!?
Breast cancer seem more well publicize to general public in particular in well developed countries which I think is great along with HIV aids as the rates of women dying from Breast cancer is alarming!.
However dont you think its sort of leaving out the men!?
If men are to be encouraged to see the doctors ( which at times they dont), wouldn't it be nice if there was a national awareness week or day on certain cancers that affect and kill a lot of men such as prostate cancer!?
We hear of the pink Ribbon Campaign (in Australia) and you see university's, our harbour bridge and Oprea house lighting their lights pink for beast cancer awareness!.!.!.!.and there's much more!.
We never see anything on this scale where there is an awareness for cancer that men suffer such as prostate or Testicular cancer which in effect sends that message out that men should suffer in silence rather than being encouraged to seek help!.
So are male related cancers discriminated against in terms of the lack of awareness and support by the general public!?
Some studies find that Cancer affects more men than women!. So is the support disproportional!?

The public awareness for breast cancer is being driven by private organizations and businesses!. It all started with the Estee Lauder company president who just happened to have breast cancer!. With her powerful backing, lobbying, and donations she encouraged thousands of other businesses to make breast cancer research a priority!. And that's what has happened!. It has nothing to do with any other type of cancer!. Unfortunately the backlash has harmed available funding for other types of cancer !. !.Www@Answer-Health@Com
I think its because the genetic marker for breast cancer has been identified thus making the disease quite preventable!. If you have the marker there is a chance you might get it and so you can choose to have a mastectomy and prevent the disease!. They say an ounce of prevention is better than a pound of cure and since this is more preventable they want to get the word out!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
The support and awareness of Breast Cancer has done many so many wonderful things - finding cures and prevention - But I do agree we also need to give this attention to other types of Cancer for research, support, awareness - maybe the same advances can be made for other cancers as well!.
