Is prostate cancer awareness/prevention considered a less-worthy cause, than breast cancer awareness?
it is by no means a less worthy cause! However you have to consider social acceptance, women checking their breast?s is more appealing than men checking their prostate if you catch my drift.What about bowel cancer? Why does nobody ever mention bowel cancer? How can you ignore the plight of millions like my grandma with bowel cancer????not at all. just less people are willing to start up programs for it. why not be the change you want to see. and start a walk or something!!! all for fundraiser to help cure prostate cancer!!
do you have any prevention tips that you can pass on.. the knowledge is key!I think it is. Way more media attention is given to breast cancer with all kinds of pink buttons, pink ribbons all over all kinds of product labels, charity events?even football players wearing pink gloves. I have yet to see any blue stuff for prostate cancer.At this point in time it seems women?s health issues are more popular than men?s. But about 10000 more women die every year from breast cancer than men die from prostate cancer. But you are right in that there?s more awareness for breast cancer than prostate cancer. Oh btw men can get breast cancer also.Breast cancer is more deadly and kills more women in their prime and afflicts both men and women.
Breast cancer tends to be far more aggressive than prostate cancer. Men die of old age and they are found to have had prostate cancer ? it moves that slowly.
Men need to learn to put down the beer and remote control and do something ? just like women were forced to do when there was no research on women?s diseases (you couldn?t even say the word ?breast? or print it).
Complaining on Yahoo won?t bring results so get off your butt if you really care.
If you really cared you would be doing something concrete, but you?re not.
How much did you donate towards that cause last year? Exactly zero, right?
Incidentally, November is Prostate Cancer Awareness Month:

What did you do for prostate cancer last November? Exactly nothing, right?It?s not considered less worthy. However, many men are not as proactive in their health care as women are. Do you talk to your male friends about getting screened for prostate cancer? Do you go and get screened yourself? Many men prefer to avoid talking or even thinking about doing something about their health, until they have a heart attack or some other wakeup call. Women, on the other hand, will remind their friends about getting a mammogram, and we?ll discuss our appointments.
Since we?re discussing these issues, men can get breast cancer too. It?s far rarer in men, but they can get it.
And when?s the last time YOU had your prostate checked?Prostate cancer ? 223307 diagnosed, 29093 (13%) fatal
http://www.cdc.gov/cancer/prostate/statistics
Breast cancer ? 202964 diagnosed, 40598 (20%) fatal
http://www.cdc.gov/cancer/breast/statistics
There may be several reasons why breast cancer gets more attention, but one of the reasons is because it kills more people.The thing with prostate cancer is all you have to do to make sure you don?t get it is jerk off 24/7. Most guys do that anyway.
It?s not so easy with breast cancer. Rubbing one out won?t stop you from getting it (at least I don?t think so). You need to like??.get a man to suck on them daily or something. Which would actually be really easy if it wasn?t for society calling women sluts when they sleep around. So see, this is really a social issue, which is why it?s good that you raised it in the Gender Studies section!Women themselves decided to promote breast cancer. There are prostrate cancer programmes. I asked here a little while ago how many would join me in contributing towards the prostrate cancer charities, and only one person (a man) accepted my challenge.
Would you make a donation?

Dr. Angela Brodie Comments on Breast Cancer Prevention Trial
A New England Journal of Medicine study released on June 4, 2011, reported a significant advance in breast cancer prevention. The study found that exemestane, an aromatase inhibitor, already approved to treat breast cancer, can reduce the risk of postmenopausal women ever developing the disease by 65 percent. Dr. Angela Brodie, an internationally recognized University of Maryland breast cancer researcher, pioneered the development of aromatase inhibitors. In this 2-minute video, she comments on the significance of the prevention study findings and the benefits the new drug offers for women who are at increased risk for breast cancer.
