Is breast cancer different than cancer? Why dont men have as much awareness for prostate cancer

Is breast cancer different than cancer? Why dont men have as much awareness for prostate cancer?
I always thought cancer was all the same and should all have the same urgency to be treated. What makes breast cancer more important than all other forms?

There are many different kinds of cancer and they all need different types of treatment. Men usually don't develop prostate cancer until they are over the age of 45 but there are exceptions. Breast cancer strikes women as almost any age and is thought to be hormone related. There's presently a big controversy over when women should get a mammogram to detect breast cancer but IMO the sooner the better since it can be very deadly. Prostate cancer is a slow growing cancer inmost cases but still there's the exceptions.
