Why don’t men have the same intensity to fight prostate cancer like women fight breast cancer?
Women hаνе turned breast cancer іntο a national movement аnd I ѕο proud οf thеm fοr thаt. Bυt οn thе οthеr hand men аrе nοt trying tο turn prostate cancer іntο thе national movement lіkе breast cancer. Whу?
Because a auburn ribbon with nuts in it would be so tacky!
Men does not like to get personal. Imagine our ads would be like when a doctor would stab his finger for digital exam for the rest of the world to see, not amusing……
Men are simply more vain than women.
Because men’s health receive more funding and research than women’s. There are more treatments geared to treat men’s issues, for instance, reckon of all the ads you see just to help men with their sexual experiences…not life threatening yet more research dollars (federal and private) have been washed-out on this issue than on breast cancer research.
i reckon men are really more ashamed of it…Woman seem to be ok saying i lost a boob but guys don’t wanna say Oh i lost a nut…
It’s more embarrassing than boobs. Boobs are universally appreciated n
Movements are nice but progress is better

DNDN 20.63, +13.33, +182.5%) said Tuesday that its Provenge treatment prolonged the survival of men who had advanced prostate cancer in a Phase III trial of the drug. The company said the successful trial means Provenge may represent the initially in a new class of committed cellular immunotherapies designed to engage the patient’s own immune logic against cancer. Because the data meet the criteria and specifications outlined in Dendreon’s Unique Protocol Assessment (SPA) agreement with the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, the company intends to go forward in the fourth quarter of this year to gain licensure of Provenge.

I influence, and my family are avid contributors to the fighting cancer produce.
“In 2006, Britain’s net contribution to the EU budget was £3.9bn”
If the UK Government stop wasting cash on crap like the EU, I believe incredible advances in treatment could be learned earlier. Just imagine if the UK Government gave even just a fraction of that £3.9 BILLION to Cancer research!!
I fervently disagree with you. My husband has prostate cancer and is very committed in a group here in Atlanta. They spend a lot of time and effort setting up booths and such to educate people about the problem. He tells me that they are very disappointed that the media does small to promote their hard work, as it does with breast cancer.
men work all day, housewives get bored and take up causes
The death rate from breast cancer is higher. By the time men get prostate cancer they are pretty ancient, and the disease can progress slowly. Also – woman will go in for mammograms. Men do not want to go in for a prostate exam, especially at 30 when prostate cancer won’t get them until they are over 50.
Because people would rather talk about breasts than @$$holes. . .
It sounds like I am trying to be amusing, but it really is that simple.
Here is a joke that clarifies why:
Q: Know why husbands ordinarily die before their wives do?
A: Because they WANT to!
because we men like to reckon we’re indestructible. we don’t like to reckon theres something incorrect with any part of us. especially in the most sensitive and personal of areas
hehe u said breast
males are weaker.
Neon the Nameless you rock loved your answer…
They do
It is not near as deadly as breast cancer… while they have similar rates of occurance, prostate cancer kills about 3% of those who get it while breast cancer kills about 8% or women dx’d with early stage and over 40% with later stages.
Excellent inquiry. I don’t know. I reckon they should.
There is already a cure for cancer but the elitists keep it secret to reduce world population. They have made and weaponized viruses like HIV/aids and in prospect bird flu to wipe out billions.
see the Georgia Guide pebbles. Eventually the Rotschilds may even turn on the Rockerfellers
The simple reason is that Prostate cancer is rarely deadly. Near all men get it in the late stages of life. Most who do get diagnosed in their seventies or eighties die from other causes. Many men die with prostate cancer. Relatively few die from prostate cancer. The most common treatment for elderly men is ‘Watchful Coming up” meaning you do nothing – because it is slow growing and not causing serious symptoms.
It is different for younger men who get diagnosed, or older men who are otherwise healthy. The stage and speed of the cancer also comes into play. There are many treatment options and support groups for them.
Without early diagnoses and aggressive treatment breast cancer is near always fatal. Prostate cancer rarely is because it is typically not very aggressive and because of the stage of life it typically occurs in. So it is hard to base a Breast-cancer-like national movement on a disease that while far more common, does not have any where near the death rate or impact on peoples lives.
It is because men ordinarily get prostate cancer at a later age and are less apt to struggle.
To Jehen: I disagree with you that prostate cancer is rarely fatal. Prostate cancer can be very deadly and can spread speedily. I lost a name I loved to prostate cancer. It was learned early and he battled it for years. It spread and did dreadful things to him before he died.
