Breast Cancer In Men
July 4th, 2007

Although Men are 100-150 times less likely to be diagnosed with breast cancer, it can not completely be written off.

Are all men at risk?

Below we outline men more likely to be diagnosed due to certain characteristics, but there are things like radiation exposure, etc which are not in control of individuals and as such all men are at risk.

Some studies say men at risk are primarily those in the ages 60 and above.

Obese men are much more likely to develop breast cancer.

Men with heavy intake of alcohol and those with liver diseases are also at risk

Estrogen therepy is used for treatment of prostate cancer and this increases the chances of breast cancer. Estrogens are also heavily used as a hormonal treatment as a part of sex change procedures for men, this significantly increases the chances of breast cancer.

Men who come from families where significant number of women have been diagnosed also stand a higher risk.

Word of Advice

Although it may seem like a “disease of the women”, breast cancer can occur in men too. Any abnomality/lump observed by men in the neighbourhood of their breast area should not be ignored and medical advice should be taken at the earliest.

If you are a male breast cancer patient/survivor, do not feel embarassed about it; because of factors like excessive radiation exposure it can happen to perfectly normal men too.
