Cancer

Notable differences of approach in the fight against cancer on different continents. The fight overhere seems to be focused on survival, while across the ocean it’s… I don’t know. I’m a pessimist, I gather, as in that there should be less focus on the chance of survival, since the chances are slim. 10 Million people are diagnosed with cancer every year. 6 Million people die of cancer each year. There’s no cure for cancer.

However, while there’s no cure in the foreseeable near future, there’s a lot that can be done in the field of prevention. Think and particularly, talk about it.

On a sidenote: I am a bit amused about the difference of approach on the continents particularly if you take the logos of both Canadian and Dutch cancer societies (please click the infinity link to go to the linkthroughs that take you to both sites). One has a daffodil. The other has a crab with a sword through it. A symbol of hope versus a crab. Who wins?
