Common to women but no stranger to men
Men are not exempted from the scythe of breast cancer simply because they themselves have breasts too. They are however, 90% less likely to catch the disease but when they do, their chances at survival are no less precarious than that of the women. Last 2007, heart disease trumped the death toll in the United States but up to date, breast cancer still ranks first on being the most feared condition in America. This is most probably because of the media millage given to the condition and the torturous process involved in fighting the disease. The society for women’s health research stated that breast cancer fatalities have decreased because of preventive information dissemination.
