Men Carry Breast Cancer Genes, Too

Submitted by anthony on Sat, 2007-12-15 16:37

Story here. Excerpt:

"Doctors are encouraging a new group of people to consider getting tested for genes that raise the risk of breast cancer: men. Male relatives of women with such genes often do not realize that they, too, may carry them, and face greater odds of developing male breast cancer, as well as prostate, pancreatic and skin cancer, new research suggests.
...
After seeing breast cancer in several male patients who did not know they were at risk, Daly conducted a small study, which was presented Friday at a conference in Texas. She now is trying to convince more fathers, sons and brothers of women with the genes to get tested."

Just another case when women want to make men to care about women's health.

Female feminists is just a human shield disguising the real wrong-doers. If you want to fight with feminism effectively, you must target the root of feminism: MALE DAUGHTER OWNERS.

the government spends, what 10X, more on women's brest cancer than they do on men's prostrate cancer, even though men and women die at approximately the same rates for the prospective diseases?

They try all kinds of tactics to get "all men" to pay attention to women's ridiculous issues. 75% of men paying attention -- and all men footing the bill while women go on vacation -- is not enough. When I donate money I place a stipulation that it must go to what I donated it to and that I do not want my money going to women's organizations to take care of their so-called problems.

When I see tons of women paying attention to men's very real problems and giving money to us(since they have most of the money) I will start paying attention to women's issues. Not before...

Sometimes women care for men on a personal level, and often they don't. But on a political level as a group, women never support men.

This isn't tragedy; it's slapstick. The group that lives several years longer than men is trying to guilt-trip men into spending more on its health? Keep making me laugh, girls.
