Why does google have 34 million hits for breast cancer, and only 12 million for prostate cancer

Why does google have 34 million hits for breast cancer, and only 12 million for prostate cancer?
Point of fact: men are just as likely to get prostate cancer, as women are to get breast cancer.

Misandry, clearly.

Was *12 MILLION* not enough for you to find the information you need? Yeah, misandry...*Clearly.* What with only 12 million, it amounts to an all out conspiracy. Geez, I hope you people aren't in earnest.
3 :
Because the media talks about it more and people tend to accessorize it with pretty pink ribbons. That's why.
4 :
Mostly because of the total amount of research dollars that has gone into br. ca. research- both basic science and clinical. Much more money goes into br. ca. research and tons of money goes into very advanced screening modalities for breast cancer. A small fraction of the research dollars go into prostate research and the only screening we have is PSA and DRE (which cost about $1.22) compared to radiographic, US, MR that's used simply in the imaging of breast for screening, not to mention serologic assays in certain population. It's disgraceful, really.

It's a feminist conspiracy.
6 :
Because this is America!!!
7 :
It's all math, dude. Two breasts per woman. One prostate per man. You wouldn't argue math, would you? ='o(
8 :
cause breast cancer is more common then prostate cancer
9 :
One reason might be because men can get breast cancer, too. It is not a form of cancer that is exclusive to women.
10 :
Because breast cancer is the second most common form of cancer, right after the lung cancer with more than half of million deaths worldwide each year, it has nothing to do with the gender issues, after all men can get breast cancer too http://interesting-science-facts.blogspot.com/2009/03/interesting-science-facts-breast-cancer.html
