Men and Women Face Cancer Differently
Women and men with certain types of cancer appear to take very different approaches in deciding how to treat their disease, a new study of social media found.
The study, commissioned by Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center in New York, analyzed thousands of Internet posts in leading cancer forums and other online communities. Men with prostate cancer were generally found to be analytical, methodical and data-driven in assessing their options.

Real Men Touch Their Balls Regularly!
For companies like Tommy John the comfort and well being of men is their main focus. Whether it’s through their partnership with the Testicular Cancer Foundation, or with their comfortable base layers supporting the men in our lives is always a priority.
