Thats a very good point . Breast Cancer affects men and women - The WHOLE population , yet has a smaller mortality rate per 100K . All th amore need to FUND-UP Prostate cancer in my opinion . Prostate cancer has a uncertain past when looking at funding compared to Breast , Ovarian and other high frequency cancers . Its about time Prostate cancer gets its funding and recognition and yes ...even TV commercials warning men of the dangers and dispelling the myth it is a old mans disease and people in there 40's do get it . Testing in Canada is hit and miss . In many provinces - doctors are being told not to do any lab work around prostate cancer or even PSA baseline testing unless the patient is showing severe and unusual urological symptoms. This is not what medicine is all about. Saving $15 Canadian on a PSA test could kill a person. Saliva tests, blood tests, for abnormalities in the prostate should be done early and age and more frequent in anybody over about 40 years old. Once you have symptoms as a prostate cancer patient, your window of treatment is considerably smaller. Doctors know this, researchers know this, yet the edict has gone out in many provinces to suspend and withdraw PSA testing unless there is severe and unusual neurological issues. Unbelievable. Who makes up these rules? Men are already swimming upstream with respect to funding and profile in our North American community.
