Can Men Get Breast Cancer? The answer is YES. Many men do not realize that they can develop the disease, and don’t seek medical attention when they first discover a mass or lump in their chest. Breast cancer is often diagnosed at more advanced stages (3 or 4) in men.
As in women, the most common symptom in men is a lump that can be felt in the breast. In most cases, such lumps are painless.
Staging of cancer is a way of describing where the cancer is located, how much the cancer has grown, and if or where it has spread.
Treatment typically involves surgery to remove the breast tissue. Other treatments are recommended based on your individual situation.
