After watching Today’s Live with Kelly and Mark Show in which they discussed Breast Cancer, I want to now share this with you. Breast Cancer doesn’t just happen to women.

The reason I am telling you this is because I had a Tumor Removed from my left Breast. Thankfully. It was benign. But Men, don’t ignore a lump in your Breast either. Never ignore it! Have it checked. And it had begun hurting too prior to surgery.

Ductal carcinoma is the most common type of male breast cancer. Cancer that begins in the milk-producing glands, called lobular carcinoma.

Breast cancer is most often found in women, but men can get breast cancer too. About 1 out of every 100 breast cancers diagnosed in the United States is found in a man. Invasive ductal carcinoma. The cancer cells begin in the ducts and then grow outside the ducts into other parts of the breast tissue.

It is important to raise awareness about breast cancer in men, as it is often overlooked.

One of the most important things to remember is that men can get breast cancer at any age, but it is most common in men over the age of 60. Other risk factors for male breast cancer include:

• A family history of breast cancer
• Klinefelter syndrome
• Exposure to high levels of radiation
• Certain hormonal conditions

The symptoms of male breast cancer are similar to the symptoms of breast cancer in women. They can include:

• A lump in the breast
• Changes in the skin of the breast, such as redness, dimpling, or scaling
• Nipple discharge
• A change in the size or shape of the nipple
• Pain in the breast or nipple

If you notice any of these symptoms, it is important to see a doctor right away. Early detection and treatment of breast cancer is essential for a good outcome.

The treatment for male breast cancer is similar to the treatment for breast cancer in women. It may include surgery, radiation therapy, chemotherapy, or hormone therapy. The best course of treatment will depend on the stage of the cancer and the patient’s individual needs.

I am glad that this article is raising awareness about breast cancer in men. It is important for men to know that they are not alone, and that there is help available. If you or someone you know has been diagnosed with male breast cancer, please know that there are resources and support available.
