Breast cancer isn't just a female issue

Although male breast cancer is very rare, men can get this cancer too.

Male breast cancer accounts for less than 1% of all breast cancers diagnosed in US. A large number of men with breast cancer do not undergo imaging prior to treatment either because mammography is not heavily advertised in the male community or because men also may be socially conscious about that part of their anatomy.

Re: Breast cancer isn't just a female issue

I just want to say that men aren't advised to ask for a mammography, but women. I think that within advertisements targeting women, men deserve some consideration too.

Re: Breast cancer isn't just a female issue

here's symptoms to look for from the Mayo Clinic


Symptoms
Knowing the signs and symptoms of breast cancer may help save your life. The earlier the disease is discovered, the more treatment options and the better chance of recovery you have.

The most common sign of breast cancer for both men and women is a lump or thickening in the breast. Often the lump is painless. Other male breast cancer symptoms include:

Skin dimpling or puckering
Development of a new retraction or indentation of the nipple
Changes in the nipple or breast skin, such as scaling or redness
Nipple discharge
