GlossaryMale Breast Cancer (Breast Cancer in Men)

rare cancer where malignant cells form in male breast tissue

Male Breast Cancer, also known as Male Breast Carcinoma, is a rare condition where malignant cells form in the breast tissue of men. Although men have less breast tissue than women, they can still develop breast cancer, often presenting as a lump, skin changes, or nipple discharge. Early detection and treatment are crucial for better outcomes, and risk factors include genetic mutations (such as BRCA1 and BRCA2), family history, and exposure to radiation.
