  1. Breast Cancer: Symptoms and Causes (Curia) A Cancer App for Patients

  2. Breast cancer is often associated with women but the fact is that even men are susceptible to it. In the United States, less than 1% of all breast cancers occur in men. In 2022, about 2170 American men are estimated to be diagnosed with breast cancer and about 530 are expected to die from it. An average man’s risk of getting breast cancer is about 1 in 1000 as against women which is one in eight. Men are often diagnosed with breast cancer at an advanced stage reducing their chances of recovery. One of the reasons being lack of awareness of the possibility of developing breast cancer for men and hence they do not look out for symptoms that may indicate a breast cancer.

  3. TYPES OF MALE BREAST CANCER This cancer begins in the milk ducts. And nearly all male breast cancers are ductal carcinoma. DUCTAL CARCINOMA This cancer begins in the milk-producing glands. This is a rare type of cancer for men and is caused by few lobules in the breast tissue. LOBULAR CARCINOMA This is another rare type of cancer found in men. PAGET’S DISEASE NIPPLE AND INFLAMMATORY BREAST CANCER This again is a rare type of male breast cancer.

  4. TREATMENT OPTIONS THE CANCER STAGE, OVERALL HEALTH AND PREFERENCES IS CONSIDERED WHILE DECIDING TREATMENT OPTIONS. THE USUAL MODE OF TREATMENT IS SURGERY BUT IT MAY ALSO INVOLVE OTHER OPTIONS. REMOVING ALL OF THE BREAST TISSUE The entire breast tissue including the nipple and aerola is removed surgically. (MASTECTOMY) High energy beams such as X-rays and protons kill cancer cells. This usually happens after surgery to remove any remaining cancer cells in the breast, chest muscles or the armpit. RADIATION THERAPY CHEMOTHERAPY Chemotherapy uses medications to kill any cancer cells that may have spread outside the breast.6 MEN ARE OFTEN EMBARRASSED OF THEIR BREAST CANCER AS THEY FEEL IT IS A WOMEN’S DISEASE AND AT TIMES FEEL ISOLATED BECAUSE OF THEIR CONDITION. AT SUCH TIMES THEY CAN TURN TO SUPPORT GROUPS SUCH AS MALE BREAST CANCER COALITION.
