Men and breast cancer Part 2
Mar 05, 2008 in Men
What kind of men are more likely to get breast cancer?
At the age of 35, very few men are prone to get breast cancer, but the likelihood of developing the disease increases with age. African-American men appear to be at greater risk than white men. In fact, in some places in Africa, breast cancer in men is much more common than in women. Also, among those who are found to have a higher risk are college-graduated professionals.
The most conceivable risk for developing breast cancer in men seems to be limited to those who have had an abnormal enlargement of their breasts in response to drug or hormone treatments, poison, and other factors.
