An interesting fact for this Movember's prostate and testicular cancer awareness month: prostate cancer deaths in males (22.8/100,000) relatively equal breast cancer deaths in females (22.5/100,000).

Prostate cancer is a serious risk for men, but we really need to be comparing similar things. The age at which people die of prostate cancer is an important factor to consider. Just as we want people to treat the "wage gap" with the appropriate statistics, we need to do the same for prostate cancer.

Except men get prostate cancer at 85 and women get breast cancer at 65.

Testicular and Prostate cancers are non-issues, lets talk about suicide and heart disease.

So if they are equally deadly, then the government funds research, prevention, detection, and treatment at equal rates, right?

Don't forget women can't get prostate cancer, but men can still get breast cancer
