Interesting cancer funding stats...

I wonder when the men in this country are going to get off their asses and do something about this inequity...

"Breast cancer research will receive about $870 million next year. Compare that to $485 million for prostate cancer research."

Interesting when you look at some additional numbers:

Breast cancer deaths (per 100,000): 27.9
Prostate cancer deaths (per 100,000): 32.0

Don't even get me started on HIV/AIDS spending.

National Prostate Cancer Coalition
Healthy People

Remember that <b>guys</b> next time someone tries to corner you into donating for breast cancer research....
