It could very easily mean "cancer of the breast (fleshy organ)" or "cancer of the breast (chest)" and, in my (thank God) limited experience, it only means the former. If my experience matches actual usage (or current usage) then keep per WT:CFI#Idiomaticity.—msh210℠ (talk) 21:56, 1 December 2011 (UTC)Reply
No they don't because breast means tits to most people, if you ask a doctor they will tell you men do have atrophied undeveloped mammary glands and that this means like pre-pubescent girls they have "breasts" but this usage is rare, therefore men do not have breasts, as they are generally meant to be the big (hopefully) beautiful squishy things you grab onto while your nailing your lady. — This unsigned comment was added by Luciferwildcat (talk • contribs) at 09:46, 4 December 2011 (UTC).Reply
Yes medically speaking, but very few people describe them as such, the usage of breast in the singular similar to chest or pecs has some usage but not in the plural which nearly always means tits.Lucifer09:46, 4 December 2011 (UTC)Reply
I don't think prostate cancer effects anything but the prostate, or else it's prostate and colon cancer, etc. But I may be wrong, oncology is not my specialty.Lucifer03:25, 5 December 2011 (UTC)Reply
Well, according to WP "Prostate cancer most commonly metastasizes to the bones, lymph nodes, and may invade rectum, bladder and lower ureters after local progression." I don't think there is a cancer that limits itself into one organ. If there is, it should be specifically mentioned as the cancer that does not affect any other organ. I'd say we either include all X cancers or we don't. --Hekaheka06:44, 5 December 2011 (UTC)Reply
Well that can go either way, there seems to be 3 potential groups here. Cancer of only X, Cancer called X but can start anywhere in the neighborhood, or Cancer X which certain will effect it's neighborhood. I think we should then keep them all since it would be interesting to know what the neighborhood is.Lucifer21:18, 8 December 2011 (UTC)Reply
