It's not just cancer, there are lots of diseases in poor countries that harm more people and would probably be easier to fix...

The reason breast cancer gets so much publicity is because it's one of those cancers that people can spot for themselves. The publicity isn't to tell "Hey, breast cancer exists!" but rather "Check your breasts for weird bumps regularly." If the cancer is noticed on an early state it's easier to treat, so it's important for women to take notice of any anomalies in their chest area.
