Penile cancer is a rare cancer in developed nations with annual incidence varying from 0.3 to 1 per 100,000 per year accounting for around 0.4–0.6% of all malignancies.[1] The annual incidence is approximately 1 in 100,000 men in the United States,[2] 1 in 250,000 in Australia,[3] and 0.82 per 100,000 in Denmark.[4] In the United Kingdom, fewer than 500 men are diagnosed with penile cancer every year.[5][6]

In 2008, breast cancer caused 458,503 deaths worldwide (13.7% of cancer deaths in women

In the twelve world regions, the annual age-standardized incidence rates per 100,000 women are as follows: in Eastern Asia, 18; South Central Asia, 22; sub-Saharan Africa, 22; South-Eastern Asia, 26; North Africa and Western Asia, 28; South and Central America, 42; Eastern Europe, 49; Southern Europe, 56; Northern Europe, 73; Oceania, 74; Western Europe, 78; and in North America, 90.[129]

Breast cancer is literally 90 times more prevalent in the U.S. than cancer of the male rape muscle (MRM). Unacceptable.

[Mr. H.]

The male rape muscle?

Shouldn't it be referred to as the female abortiifactor?

No, it is the 'Magic Wand' and the NOW gang is the 'Dis-staff Community'.

You're either geneticly fated to develop a cancer or you're not. If your genes are such that cancers are in your future there isn't much you can do right now except detect it early and try to kill it off. Angelina Jolie was fated for breast cancer and did the best thing, remove both breasts completely even before cancer was detected. Women have that option. Men can't remove their afflicted area quite as easily.

You don't give an credence to exposure to carcinogenic materials?

Magic Wand , I like the designation . ----------- As far as cancer being being genetically programmed , that sounds plausible to me . Cancer has never been in my family so I don't expect to get it but I'll see . Sounds like a jolie made a smart move .

Heads up all ya'll tall guys - the taller you are, the greater your risk of cancer...

Cancer and height are linked, new study shows
Oct. 2, 2015 -- The taller you are, the greater your risk of cancer, a new Swedish study released Friday suggests.

A massive 50-year study by the Karolinska Institute in Stockholm tracking five million Swedes supported previous research that suggests that height and cancer are connected. In the study, taller people were found to have higher incidences of breast and skin cancer as well as other types of cancer. According to the study, cancer risk grows by 18 percent in women and by 11 percent in men for every four inches in height. Taller women had a 20 percent greater incidence of breast cancer, and taller adults -- male or female -- had a 30 percent higher incidence of skin cancer.

But despite all the data, researchers still haven't yet been able to find why height and cancer are connected. Theories include taller people have more growth factors in their youth that might encourage the development of cancer cells. Another is that taller people simply have more cells, thus increasing the opportunity for cancer to begin. Dr Emelie Benyi, who led the study, said the results do not mean being tall causes cancer, but the results could help identify risk factors that lead to treatments. "As the cause of cancer is multi-factorial," Benyi said. "It is difficult to predict what impact our results have on cancer risk at the individual level."

That is BULLSHIT with a capital "B". There are plenty of environmental factors and volition all behaviors that contribute to cancer, such as tobacco use, diet, exposure to UV light, what you inhale at work (eg, chemicals, dust), etc...

Delta, you are stupid and should not be opening your mouth on matters you know nothing about, which I figure will shut you up 99.9% of the time.

More lower-income people need to participate in clinical trials...

Low-income cancer patients less likely to participate in clinical trials
Oct. 16, 2015 - The absence of low-income participants makes findings less representative of the general population.

The lower income a cancer patient lives on, the lower the chance that person will take part in a clinical trial, which researchers say in a new study is bad both for the accuracy of clinical trials and for individual patients who can benefit from experimental treatments. The reason low-income patients don't take part has nothing to do with the studies, but the fact that transportation, childcare and healthcare costs outside the study price them out of the ability to participate. Between 3 and 5 percent of all adult cancer patients in the United States take part in clinical trials, according to researchers. "The research benefits because you can do trials more quickly and they would be more representative," said Dr. Joseph Unger, a biostatistician and health services researcher in Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center, in a press release. "For patients, clinical trials are a vital resource, so there shouldn't be a disparity depending on your income."

Lower income cancer patients often never hear about clinical trials, and so often do not take part.​

Using data from a survey of 1,262 breast, lung and colorectal cancer patients, researchers found that patients who live on less than $50,000 per year were 32 percent less likely to participate in a clinical trial. About 17 percent of patients who make more than $50,000 per year participate in a clinical trial. For patients making between $20,000 and $49,999, 13 percent take part in trials, and 11 percent of patients making less than $20,000 per year participate in a trial. Sponsors of clinical trials tend to cover the costs directly related to a study, however patients or their insurance companies have to cover any additional costs needed during the trial. Many insurance companies and Medicare cover costs that would exist if patients were using standard treatment, rather than an experimental one, because they are required to by the Affordable Care Act.

Medicaid patients don't benefit from the requirement because the program is administered by individual states, so the federal law applies differently. Dr. Beti Thompson, who works at in the Health Disparities Research Center at Fred Hutchinson, the fact that many lower-income people never even hear about the clinical trials because of the places they receive healthcare. "We need to do a lot more at the community level to educate people about the importance of clinical trials and to let them know that once they go through traditional treatments, there may be other options for them," Thompson said. "We put things on the Internet and have elaborate documents about how clinical trials work, but we really need to go to where the people are and talk to them." The study is published in JAMA Oncology.
