Obviously those affect both men and women, but men are represented higher in both causes. Heart disease and cancer absolutely have large research groups focused on them, they aren’t being ignored by society at large.
They are a lot of risky behaviors that cause heart disease or cancer, like drug abuse (legal drugs included) or eating too much, and AFAIK drug abuse is definitely more common in men.
Although general cancer research received roughly 3x more funding. Blood cancers aren’t far behind breast cancer in funding ($2.7b breast and $2.3b blood).

Cancer is a really broad cause of death. The cancer that has arguably the best funded research is breast cancer, which mostly affects women.
