A member asked:
Can you tell me about breast cancer verses prostate cancer?
3 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Hmmm: They are cancers originating in two different organs. One is exclusive for men, the other almost always seen in women. Both may be cured if detected early and may kill if advanced. Interestingly, both types are often "fueled" by sex hormones (estrogen for breast and testosterone for prostate).
