There is a lot media coverage on breast cancer than any others. Many more organizations gather funds for that cause than any other type of cancer. Why? Why would people divide their efforts and independently search for cures against that specific type of cancer? Wouldn’t it be way more efficient to have a single (possibly international) organization to gather funds for developing a cure against cancer, since it’s the exact same illness in breasts than in intestines and everywhere else?
I know that cancer is an umbrella term, but in molecular terms, the same imbalances and genetic defects give rise to all types of cancer. Sure, many environmental factors give rise to the different types of cancer:
-Skin cancer is mostly caused by UV damage to DNA;
-Evidences point to the bacterium Helicobacter Pilori as a cause of stomach cancer;
-Lung cancers are mostly caused by carcinogens in cigarettes and asbestos;

But breast cancer is on par with all the other types of cancer in terms of ultimate cause: a genetic defect. Cells don’t go astray, they simply execute the genetic information they have; and if part of that information is missing or abnormal, either the cell dies (by apoptosis) or forms cancer

I’m not discriminating women or any such ridiculous thing! That person “…” clearly has a biased opinion of others.
My point is, why not putting more emphasis on “fighting CANCER” than fighting “breast cancer,” if the solutions to breast cancers are the same than for any other

How long can I smoke?

One of our kitties was just diagnosed with cancer of the white blood cells. The vet wants to do an ultrasound a bunch of tests worth about a thousand dollars. The kitty is extremely underweight and is lethargic. My question: Is there any hope of a cure for this type of cancer in cats or would we just be prolonging the cat’s suffering?
According to the vet it is a lymphoma and not feline leukemia if that helps.
