Researchers have found that in one in 40 cases, chromosomes explode in a single event, creating hundreds of fragments and many mutations. The new process is particularly common in bone cancers.

Question by Red Phantom: Why do you think so much more attention is paid to breast cancer over Prostate Cancer?
The US Government spends double on breast cancer research over prostate and the corporate disparity is much greater. Campbells soup doesn’t have Prostate awareness soup cans! Although deaths from breat cancer are 1/3 higher there are far more cases of prostate cancer, over 240,000 per year. The funding and awarness differential is 300 or 400%. So is it a gender issue, an age issue (tends to be later onset) or What?

Best answer:

Answer by ♥Ĵunỉþ€я♀
It’s “sexy”, for one thing. I know that sounds horrible, but anytime the word breast is involved, a cause gets more attention.

Another reason is for the lobbying and activism of many, many people. Both types of cancer can generally be dealt with quite well by early screening, however, even that is not failsafe.

Personally, I think we should move on to other causes. “Awareness” in particular is such a waste of funds! We’re aware already – now let’s use money to reasearch diseases that have no known treatment. Autism, for example, is sorely lacking in research funding compared to AIDS, but we all know how to avoid AIDS – not so for autism.
