Discrimination against Men
"Screening programs are provided for women related cancers such as breast and cervical cancer. However there is no screening of equivalent cancers affecting men such as prostate and testicular cancer. This is very unfair because deaths from prostate cancer are almost as high as deaths from breast cancer and 6.7 times higher than deaths from cervical cancer. The bias is further tilted because research spending overwhelming is in favour of women cancers. The most up to date health targets for the UK include: B1 - reduction of breast cancer by 25%, and B2 - reduction of cervical cancer by 20%. There is not even a mention of prostate, or testicular cancer targets. Men need to demand that more is spent on male health and prevention programs. "
Perhaps it is time to get specific with the MPs and the like. Make demands. Stand up and be counted.
Stand up and be counted.

Well done on a nice blog M t the H. I was looking for information on prostate cancer cure and came across your post Discrimination against Men - not precisely what I was looking for related to prostate cancer cure but an interesting read all the same!
