That is a fair metric to use and it makes sense.
The same metric should be used for prostate cancer and breast cancer research funding too but prostate cancer gets less than half. This is our fault as men for being silent.
"Prostate cancer will be diagnosed in more than 22 000 Canadian men this year. Breast cancer will be diagnosed in more than 22 000 Canadian women this year. Currently, 1 in 8 Canadian men is expected to be diagnosed with prostate cancer during his lifetime; 1 in 27 will die from the disease. 1 One in 9 Canadian women is expected to be diagnosed with breast cancer during her lifetime; 1 in 27 will die of it."
