Question asked by Gabry Hyrule : Why breast cancer is more important than other cancers
There are a lot of media coverage of breast cancer than others. Many more organizations raise money for this cause than any other type of cancer. Why? Why do people divide their research and independently for cures against this specific type of cancer? Would not it more effective to have one (or international) organization to raise funds to develop a cure against cancer, since it is exactly the same disease in the breast in the intestines and elsewhere? I know that cancer is a generic term, but in molecular terms, the same imbalances and genetic defects give rise to all types of cancer. While many environmental factors give rise to different types of cancer: Skin cancer is mainly caused by UV radiation to DNA; Evidences point to the bacterium Helicobacter pylori as a cause of stomach cancer, Cancer lung, are mainly caused by carcinogens in cigarettes and asbestos, but breast cancer is on par with all other types of cancer in terms of ultimate cause: a genetic defect. The cells do not get lost, they just run the genetic information they have, and if some of this information is missing or abnormal, or the cell dies (apoptosis) and cancer of formesJe am not discriminate against women or something like that ridiculous! This person “…” clearly a biased opinion of autres.Mon point is, why not put more emphasis on “fight against cancer” than to fight “breast cancer” if the solutions to the breast are the same as for any autreMeilleure response:

Two reasons: 1) cancer that affect different body parts are not the same. Each tissue that develops into cancer has its unique properties such as metastasis, metastatic (spreading) of grounds, the susceptibility to radiation and chemotherapy, the speed of propagation. For example, there are two common forms of skin cancer: melanoma and basal cell carcinoma (BCC). Melanoma spreads rapidly and if left too long, has a high mortality rate. BCC invades surrounding tissues, but does not spread to other tissues such as melanoma. Each requires it’s own cancer team recherche.2) In addition, a large organization will eventually have higher overall costs, because it deals with the paper work to try to coordinate research so much. This will mean funds will be used for paper work and not recherche.Le breast cancer has a lot of media coverage, because it can affect young women and has a higher weight than the disease of cancer of the prostate say affects older men (usually). Also, surgery (if any) for breast cancer has many side effects, including scarring. Older people still images of radical mastectomies in their head (I’ll let you do a Google search Image). I hope it helped.
