Fewer than 1% of all those diagnosed with breast cancer are male. For example, in the UK around 46,000 people are diagnosed with breast cancer each year and 300 of them are men. Just under 12,000 women and around 90 men die from breast cancer in the UK each year.
Most men diagnosed with breast cancer are over 60.
It’s exactly the same cancer that women get – there’s no such thing as ‘male breast cancer’ – and it’s treated in exactly the same way
The person who says women get breast cancer after giving birth is talking rubbish.
In fact never having had children and never having breastfed are risk factors for breast cancer in women. Having children young and breastfeeding both offer a measure of protection against breast cancer.
Both women with children and those without get breast cancer
Yes it is more that possible but most men who get it die because
they think it is only a cancer that attack women.
So they don’t get help as soon.
Most men who get breast cancer are over weight so when the mass
appears they don’t notice it as soon.
The doctors do a ultra sound to find the breast cancer with men.
Once it is found the treatment is Pretty close to the same as for
a women.
Yes it is.

Yes. Any part of the human body can develop cancer. Men have breast tissue, just not as much as women . . so they can get breast cancer too.
