A member asked:
Why is breast cancer considered such an important a disease but less is heard about other cancers?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Power in advertising: Breast cancer occurs in women mostly and women have identified with this cancer. The attention women have brought to this cancer is amazing and has used advertising to gain awareness. Lung, colon, prostate, etc have not had the attention like breast cancer but have higher death rates.
