Prostate Cancer Statistics

Posts Tagged ‘breast cancer’

For decades, the American Cancer Society has rammed the importance of breast and prostate cancer screening down our throats. They gave us fantastic statistics about the success rate of treating early detection. Now they come out and say that they have overstated the effectiveness of screening and even say that it causes risks of over-treating some cancers while ignoring others.

If they were lying for decades, then they are guilty of one of the biggest frauds in history and should be held accountable.

If they are lying now, the only reason is in the world for them to come out with this at this point and time is because the Obama administration asked them to. Can you imagine how much costs would drop by not covering breast and prostate cancer screenings?

So, was it decades of fraud, or is it a deadly manipulation by the Obama administration?

Chewy and PJ…the facts are there. from 1980 to 2000 the percentage of death from breast cancer has gone down 20% due to early detection. In prostate it is almost 25%. So now they come out and say that it is POTENTIALLY CAUSING RISK? ARE YOU SERIOUS???? YOU ARE BUYING THIS CRAP???
Eman….considering the timing, what Obama and his Czars have said, and the obvious lunacy of this…to not see it you are short of marbles.
Woodles…your analysis is thorough, and the most naive of them. Take a look at Obama’s “Give her a pill” comment. Take a look at his Czars and their PAST REMARKS about determinations of treatment based on cost-benefit. Take a look at the original legislation…before they took out the part which led to Palin calling it “Death Panels”….funny they claimed there were no such provisions, but within a week of her “Death Panel” statement, they said that they were taking those provisions out that she was referring to. They took out what was not there? Or if they were not what they appeared to be, why take them out.
I guarantee that you have not read any of the legislation. I HAVE. I have read, and traced HR3200, and it was a nightmare. From there they have to cut costs. The current Senate bill leaves between 14 and 25 million uninsured…and when you leave off the illegals there are only 30 million uninsured to begin with. And you trust maniacs who keep being caught lying?????

How do the survival rates for breast cancer, prostate cancer, heart attack and other common ailments stack up?

I ask because in one country the government is far more involved with health care than in the other.

I made an appointment for my six month old male chihuahua to get neutered. While I was in the waiting room, the vet gave me a copy of an article about the pros and cons of neutering a small breed dog. The article focused more on the cons. I didn’t understand why the vet was trying to tell me… I thought that neutering was a must! The vet then tells me that it’s up to me if I want to get him neutered, but that the health benifits are not significant. He said that there is only a very small chance that my dog could get prostate cancer later in life if he is not neutered. On the other hand, the vet said that it is a very good idea to spay a female dog due to avoiding major health problems like breast cancer. He said that the probability of my dog getting another dog pregnant is very small as well (my major concern was that my dog didn’t father any puppies). He gave a few reasons for this. So I left without neutering my dog, and the vet didn’t charge me for the visit.
