you forget about prostate cancer, it is pretty equal to breast cancer... and men can get breast cancer too

One absolute risk you may see is lifetime risk of breast cancer. Women in the U.S. have a 1 in 8 (or about 13 percent) lifetime risk of getting breast cancer

.

About 1 man in 9 will be diagnosed with prostate cancer during his lifetime.

while im sry for women with cancer, a good friend had a double mastectomy. survial of prostate cancer is very difficult because it never really looked at. plus it is only treatable.

Almost 100% of men who have local or regional prostate cancer will survive more than five years after diagnosis. Fewer men (about 7 %) have more advanced prostate cancer at the time of diagnosis. Once prostate cancer has spread beyond the prostate, survival rates fall.

The number of years if life lost to prostate cancer in a population is a lot lower. Prostate cancer usually hits a lot later than breast or cervical.

Not a lot of point pouring resources into an illness an old man is more likely not die with than from.
