Breast Cancer is devastating.

So is Prostate Cancer.

Where is the ribbon for the latter? The walk-a-thons? The rallys? The books?

Excellent point - I've also been asking for years where all the brown ribbons are.

According to the National Cancer Institute stats for 2009:

Prostate cancer: new cases (192,280); deaths (27,360).

Breast cancer: new cases (194,280); deaths (40,610).

So it's not like prostate cancer doesn't deserve pretty much exactly the same effort to find a cure as breast cancer, but prostate cancer obviously isn't "PC" enough to warrant that effort.

A man's backside and ability to sport one just doesn't hold the same appeal as women's breasts I suppose. /s
