I need a slogan to use for the prostate cancer awareness campaign? Please help me!?
Its never too late - to check that prostate!
Why isn't there a prostate cancer awareness month? Or a lung/brain cancer awareness month?
You are my new best friend.....lol....seriously though. I too wonder why awareness is not raised for all types of cancer, regardless of where they originate. I don't wish harm to anyone either, but the last time Iooked, you needed your brain to live, but you could live without your breasts (my m-i-l, mother and others have had it and lived a wonderful life after their mastectomies). I have brain cancer and yet all I ever hear about is how this is Breast Cancer Awareness Month so gee, in Philly, let's turn all the lights in buildings downtown PINK at night, not to mention all 3 bridges. The Eagles are wearing pink during their games (football players wearing pink is a sight). Where's the grey for Brain Tumors and Brain Cancer? Where are all the other colors? Why aren't they being shown? Because no one else can get theirs noticed because of all the press about Breast Cancer, that's why.
Why is there not a large prostate cancer awareness movement like there is for breast cancer?
There is generally more focus on diseases that affect women now, due partly to the fact that women's diseases (breast cancer does affect men, but not very often, enough that it really could be considered a gendered disease) weren't always given the same treatment as men's diseases for years. Now we've gone the opposite way on these things. I do believe, however, that if someone started a movement, it would take off, assuming they knew what they were doing and had money, which we don't all have. All it really would take is someone like Lance Armstrong with testicular cancer, although Armstrong used his yellow ribbons to promote all kinds of cancer. Here, I think, if there is any problem, we'd run into it. For whatever reason, it's not socially acceptable to only focus on men these days, and I do think if there was a large enough movement somebody would complain about that too. However, by and large I think it would be embraced.
How come I have only seen one prostate cancer awareness program?
"Okay, I call sexism on this meme today. Also, why do you guys think so lowly of yourself? Why can't you do anything on your own? You can stand on your own two feet, and you can make a difference for the causes you believe in. Just freakin' do it and stop expecting the women to drop everything to take care of your sh!t. Jeebus. How old are you again? Do you really still need mommy? " wth, women expect special treatment, then u come up with this bullsh*t??????????
Why don't people care about prostate cancer?
At my school everyone always wears pink and stuff for breast cancer but no one cares about prostate cancer or other cancers. Is it cause men are less important than females.

How is testicular cancer different from prostate cancer?
Prostate cancer happens when normal cells in the prostate gland change into abnormal cells and grow out of control. The prostate gland makes fluid that is part of semen. This gland sits below the bladder and in front of the rectum, and forms a ring around the urethra, the tube that carries urine out of the body.Testicular cancer happens when normal cells in 1 or both testicles change into abnormal cells and grow out of control. The testicles are found inside a skin sac called the "scrotum". The testicles make sperm and male hormones.Testicular cancer occurs most often in boys and men ages 15 to 35. There are different types of testicular cancer. But most cases of testicular cancer can be cured with treatment.
About 29,430 men will die from prostate cancer in any given year. Why aren't there marches, major fund raisers and media coverage of this killing affliction like there is for breast cancer? Does society view men as less important than women?
Society absolutely does not view men as less important than women. The difference is actually in part because of sex appeal. This is apparent in campaigns like “save the boobies”, “I-Heart-Boobies”, or even “save second base” - why focus so much on the breasts instead of the person, especially when removing the breasts can save the patient’s life? People are incredibly focused on breast cancer based on archaic notions of beauty - feminists are actually very opposed to this excessive focus on breast cancer awareness. Not to mention it can negatively impact patient care.There are, however, some legitimate reasons for focusing on breast cancer more than prostate cancer. For one, women’s health was almost entirely neglected for centuries in favor of the sweeping diagnoses of “hysteria” and a “wandering uterus” Additionally, breast cancer kills about 40,000 people in the United States per year. it also has a slightly lower survival rate.The 5-year survival rate for most men with local or regional prostate cancer is almost 100%. Ninety-eight percent (98%) are alive after 10 years, and 96% live for at least 15 years. For men diagnosed with prostate cancer that has spread to other parts of the body, the 5-year survival rate is 29%. (Prostate Cancer - Statistics)This 29% 5-year survival rate for metastatic prostate cancer is around 7% higher than the 22% 5-year survival rate for metastatic breast cancer.The 5-year relative survival rate for women with stage 0 or stage I breast cancer is close to 100%.For women with stage II breast cancer, the 5-year relative survival rate is about 93%.The 5-year relative survival rate for stage III breast cancers is about 72%. But often, women with these breast cancers can be treated successfully.Breast cancers that have spread to other parts of the body are more difficult to treat and tend to have a poorer outlook. Metastatic, or stage IV breast cancers, have a 5-year relative survival rate of about 22%. (Breast Cancer Survival Rates & Statistics)And, to be 100% clear, there are campaigns raising awareness for prostate cancer.Prostate Cancer Awareness Products - Light BlueSeptember is Prostate Cancer Awareness MonthProstate Cancer AwarenessMovember United StatesGet an Awareness Toolkit | ZERO - The End of Prostate CancerProstate Cancer Awareness and Education - Fans for the CureProstate Cancer Awareness MonthMarch for Men - Prostate Cancer UK
Why is there so much attention to breast cancer awareness/treatment but very little to lung cancer? More people die from lung cancer than breast cancer, colon cancer and prostate cancer combined.
Money. In the health industry, it’s all about how makes what money and the most powerful side wins. So Big Pharma are very powerful and have lobbied governments to have laws changed in their favour and healthcare structured to support only their medicines. Big Pharma have done everything they can to ensure that anyone that stops them from making money is silenced, banned or locked away (e.g. alternative health).But with lung cancer, Big Pharma meets its match with Big Tobacco. It would seem that the tobacco industry have managed to suppress awareness of lung cancer because it harms their profits. Hence much more public information and charities supporting breast cancer, colon cancer, etc since there are no powerful vested interested parties trying to suppress awareness.
