Why is more money being spent Prevention/Detection of Breast Cancer than there is on Prostate Cancer?
Twelve times as many Males die each year of Prostate Cancer complications that Females do of Breast Cancer complications.
Money spent on the prevention/detection/cure of Breast cancer is four times the money spent on the prevention/detection/cure of Prostate Cancer?
What is the reason for this?

more men die because they wait to long to see a doctor ….
women are more in control of their healthcare and there is a need to catch up ….in the past everything was dedicated to the men…even heart disease only took in the male perspective…we were all deemed alike..now they are realizing that symptoms for a heart attack differ on women…no shearing or shooting pains down the left arm like men ….and they are also just realizing that MEN CAN GET BREAST CANCER ALSO

The answer is simple.
We women have a better lobby and, while it is little known,
control most of the spending in this country.
Indeed many more males die from complications of Prostate cancer than females do of Breast cancer.
The cure for Prostate cancer involves rather drastic surgery
that most males would rather not undertake.
Perhaps in 100 years a less drastic cure for both types of cancer will be discovered and in use.
