I would like to know the differences between the funding from the federal government (especially during the very beginning of both movements) to these charities. I am quite sure that breast cancer research has always been given much higher funding from the federal government but I am curious as to whether or not the unequal funding for breast cancer research foundations (in comparison to prostate cancer foundations) is what directly caused the mass awareness of breast cancer and the general neglect of prostate cancer.

Suggest that you read the history of breast cancer awareness and try to understand the social ramifications that fueled the priority for breast cancer research . . it is obvious you are too young to remember the events that led up to the 'war on cancer declared in 1971' and the womens liberation movement during that time period.

No one here is going to do research for you. If it is that important to you, you will do it. No government started the “mass awareness of breast cancer†that was done by everyday men and women who were sick and tired of people, mostly women, who were dying of the disease. How do you figure there has been a general neglect of prostate cancer? The use of PSA for early detection was started in the 1990s. The use of robots to do prostatectomies began in the last 10 years. A vaccine for advanced prostate cancer was approved by the FDA this year. Do you really believe every cancer should be funded equally? Do you believe only women die from breast cancer?
