Question 7

what cancer charity is there that fights cancer in men, women, and children equally?

Accepted Answer

Interesting question: This is a very curious question. Cancer charities tend to focus on particular types of cancer, not particular gender and/or age groups. There are not very many cancers that affect "men, women and children equally" so i'm not sure that very many cancer charities do the same. In the end, it's about treating cancer wherever you find it, not making sure you treat equal numbers of various groups.

In some studies  azoospermic men were  nearly three times as likely develop cancer  as men in the overall population with testicular and other Ca's
