How breast cancer "behaves" on men?!


Question: How breast cancer "behaves" on men!?
I found out that men can have breast cancer!. But can the nodule appear all of a sudden!? How does it manifest itself!? If there is something behind the nipple, hard and if touched, a little sensitive, is it possible that it is something else than a nodule!? Any ideas!?Www@Answer-Health@Com

Because the breast is composed of identical tissues in males and females, breast cancer also occurs in males!. Incidences of breast cancer in men are approximately 100 times less common than in women, but men with breast cancer are considered to have the same statistical survival rates as women!.
Male breast cancer accounts for < 1% of total cases; manifestations, diagnosis, and management are the same, although men tend to present later!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Yes, men can get breast cancer, though it's rare; fewer than 1% of breast cancer patients are male!.

The symptoms are much the same as in women; any persistent change in the breasts should be investigated!.

Watch out for a lump felt in the breast, nipple pain, an inverted nipple, nipple discharge (clear or bloody), sores on the nipple and areola, enlarged lymph nodes under the arm!.

Breastcancer!.org has a lot of information about breast cancer in males:
