Prostate cancer survival rate is at 96%. Pancreatic cancer is at 6%. Why is movember more popular than pancreatic cancer awareness month?
@ALL_CAPS @squarebracket not necessarily true. It's still very responsive to chemo, even in the late stages.

@BastienLaurent@squarebracket Really? I was under the impression that most pancreatic cancer was aggressive and had high 12 month mortality -
@ALL_CAPS@squarebracket they are. i was talking about prostate cancer. sorry if i was unclear. -
@BastienLaurent@squarebracket Movember's $30M is a drop in that ocean but highly effective against Prostate cancers. One battle won. -
@ALL_CAPS@squarebracket Where did you get that number? The awareness it generates is invaluable and would be a great help to pan cancer -
@BastienLaurent@squarebracket I think the total global Movember fundraising was $30M last year. -
@ALL_CAPS@squarebracket that's a lot. pancreatic cancer doesn't get a lot of money. it's not even listed on the national cancer center site
