If more men die from testicular and prostate cancer, than women from breast and cervical cancer?

Because many men consider it a weakness to visit a doctor and prostate/testicular cancer show early signs like burning,fever...etc while cervical cancer shows signs mainly in malignant phases and breast cancer shows little to no signs

In fact, thanks to those billions and the research that has already been done, cancer IS cured every day. 60% of all cancer cases are cured. In children, the percentage is even higher, more than 70%. That, just that, is a staggering achievement, isn't it? And all thanks to research which has, in a very tiny part, been paid for by those billions raised. It means that there are many thousands of people like me; someone diagnosed thirty years ago with the type, stage and grade of cancer I had would almost certainly have died. I'm fit and well and have been in complete remission for over 9 years. Nobody would pretend there isn't still a long way to go, of course; and progress is slow. What we don't have is a guaranteed cure for any of the 200+ diseases that come under the umbrella title of 'cancer'. The problem with finding a 'cure for cancer' is that cancer is hundreds of diseases, not just one. The difficulty is that different cancers are caused by different things, so no one strategy can prevent them all, and different cancers respond to different treatments so no one treatment can cure them all. There will never be a magic bullet that cures all cancer. There will never be a Eureka! moment when someone discovers a single substance or procedure that will cure all cancers. The idea that a cure is known but hidden for reasons of profit, as at least two answerers have suggested, is nonsense. Think about it: Apart from the fact that every government in the world and every medical establishment in the world would have to be in cahoots, a cure for cancer would be impossible to hide. Why? Because in order to establish that a cure worked, thousands of people would have to have been cured by it. Where are they? Why do they never tell the story of the clinical trial they were involved in that resulted in their cancer being cured? They can't all have been paid off - the trials are random, no way to ensure everyone taking part is greedy and unscrupulous. Can't all have been killed off - they'd have to live out their natural lives cancer-free in order to prove the cure worked. Doesn't add up when you really think about it, does it?

Can you link me to a source, please? I've had a quick look and according to my research (very limited, though) that's not quite accurate. Also, remember that women get vaginal and ovarian cancer as well.

However, that's not the issue. The issue is why do people concentrate on women's health at the expense of men's health? I don't know.

I do know that prostate cancer can be very slow and most men die with prostate cancer.

However, cancer is a dreadful disease. I have never seen leaflets plastered all over the place, as you say, by the way. And I'm in a surgery every day. They tend to have months devoted to certain conditions. Maybe you happened to be in "breast awareness" month. BTW - over 100 men a year die of breast cancer.

Awareness of men's health, although trivialized in favor of women's health by our leftist government, is definitely on the rise.

A large thanks can go out to many MRAs who have helped raise awareness.

We've also begun to tackle other issues such as disparity in child custody cases, false allegations of rape and domestic abuse, child support, alimony, and a host of other important issues.

As the MRM continues to grow and speak up, hopefully it will give other men the courage to do the same. That will go a long way in helping achieve some goals.

And men being too stubborn or afraid to go to the doc to find out what their ailments are, that's true. We do that, unfortunately. As to why? Well, there are many theories floating around.

What are you talking about? First, I see men's health issues advertised too, but as women we have more reproductive organs and since we get pregnant and give birth we have a lot more issues to attend to than what men have.

Second, men are not ignored like you say. Have you never heard of men's health month? It does exist and there are charities for prostate cancer and all kinds of other issues that effect men.

I really haven't noticed that to be case. I mean, if you visit an OB/GYN's office, sure. If you visit a urologist's office, you'll see plenty of information on testicular and prostate cancer.

Because men are too stupid to go to the doctor so plastering a doctor's office with fliers about men's health would be a waste of time and trees.

And men not going to doctors is why more of them die than women as well...

Because men like to wait for others to raise awareness for them whereas women like to raise awareness themselves so they get a lot more publicity because more of them are doing it. Plus, breast cancer and cervical cancers kill younger women (like 20-30 years younger on average) than prostate and testicular cancer kills men. It's more that when you're younger (30-45) you don't expect to have to be on the look out for cancer, but when you're older (55+ or something like that) you pay more attention.

Australia has massive health promotion on testicular and prostate cancer

you need to ask your government

Men are more cagey about this stuff. :o Don't worry about me, I check my testicles regularly. I've been having trouble checking my prostate though. :o!!!
