Abreast Of A Male Killer Disease Poem by Terence George Craddock

In general men are '40 per cent more likely to die from cancer than women overall, and 16 per cent more likely to get the disease.' Some diseases are gender specific, sex-specific cancers like prostate and cervical cancer, while breast cancer is much more common in women, and lung cancer is more common in men. But data on cancers which both sexes can get, highlights a disturbing fact, 'Men were 60 per cent more likely to get cancer than women, and 70 per cent more likely to die from it.' So ladies who care about the men in your lives, get them to the doctor for a regular check up, or increase the risk losing them.
