According to cancer research, men are at higher risk of cancer than women because they are more reluctant for healty lifestyle. According to this research men are 40% more likely to die from cancer and 16% to develop the disease in the first place.

Top male cancer killers in 2007
Lung: 24% of all cancer deaths
Prostate: 13%
Colorectal: 10%
Oesophagus: 6%
Pancreas: 5%

Mens have reluctance to ask for help or to admit that they have problems.  Even male cancer helplines are used more by women, speaking on behalf of partners, fathers or sons. And the fact that more women get skin cancer than men but more men die from it, indicates how late men are going to doctors.

I think there should be more health education need to be given to men.
