Men and breast cancer
How serious is breast cancer in men?
In the past, it was common for doctors to think that breast cancer in men was a more severe disease than it was in women, for it being unnatural due to the so-called “lack of the infected anatomy” in males. But it now seems that for comparably advanced breast cancers, men and women more or less have similar outcomes.
The major problem men are less likely to be suspicious of an abnormality in the chest area. Therefore, they are diagnosed at a later date than their opposite sex counterpart. In addition, their small amount of breast tissue is more difficult to locate, making it more difficult to catch these cancers early
