Possibility Breast Cancer in Men
Introduction
Breast cancer is more common in men over 60 years. Few men know and often the diagnosis is made later than in the
women. Therefore, the cancer is usually more advanced when diagnosed and more difficult to treat.
Breast cancer also affects men but in a much smaller percentage (1%) compared to the female population suffer from it. Symptoms are similar to those of that woman, and the prognosis and treatment is the same as theirs and is explained below.
It is generally believed that breast cancer is a disease of women, but about 1 percent of these cancers are in men. Each year are diagnosed with breast cancer about 300 men. Men have a small amount of tissue behind the nipples, and even not being very great as in women, cancer can form in this area also.
The biggest problem is that there is detected a little later then, to be in a few men, you think of other diagnoses before a breast cancer.
