Breast Cancer Awareness – 10/6
from breast cancer in the United States in 2009:
Pink Ribbon
Estimated new cases and deaths
 |
New cases: 192,370 (female); 1,910 (male) |
|
Deaths: 40,170 (female); 440 (male) |
Early detection saves lives! Support Breast Cancer Awareness here.
I like math and stats so I think it’s interesting to note the ratio of deaths to new cases is almost the same.
Men 440 / 1920 = 23%
Women 40,170 / 192,370 = 20.9%
In other words, men and women die at approximately the same rate.
P.S. I dugg this story http://digg.com/d316UVS
