Why do you think so much more attention is paid to breast cancer over Prostate Cancer?
Red Phantom asked:
The US Government spends double on breast cancer research over prostate and the corporate disparity is much greater. Campbells soup doesn’t have Prostate awareness soup cans! Although deaths from breat cancer are 1/3 higher there are far more cases of prostate cancer, over 240,000 per year. The funding and awarness differential is 300 or 400%. So is it a gender issue, an age issue (tends to be later onset) or What?
