Awareness is always good to be exposed too.
How common is male breast cancer?
Male breast cancer is a rare condition, accounting for only about 1% of all breast cancers.
The American Cancer Society estimates that in 2010, about 1,970 new cases of breast cancer
in men would be diagnosed and that breast cancer would cause approximately 390 deaths in
men (in comparison, almost 40,000 women die of breast cancer each year). Breast cancer
is 100 times more common in women than in men. Most cases of male breast cancer are detected
in men between the ages of 60 and 70, although the condition can develop in men of any age.
A man's lifetime risk of developing breast cancer is about 1/10 of 1%, or one in 1,000.
