Male breast cancer risk

Mammary glands exist in both men and women, and they have a fixed function on the breasts. Breast cancer occurs in the glandular epithelium of the mammary glands, and in severe cases it can cause the patient's death, as some tumor cells migrate along with tissue fluid and blood. So what is the probability of men getting breast cancer, and what symptoms will appear?

1. The probability of men getting breast cancer is very low, only one percent. In other words, only one out of a hundred men will develop breast cancer, while the probability of women is much higher than that of men, at 99 percent. However, a low probability does not mean that it is not likely to occur. If male patients find any abnormalities in their breasts, they should go to the hospital for examination immediately. Breast cancer in men is equally fatal.

2 Breast cancer in men can cause many symptoms, which are very similar to those in women. First, a lump will appear just below the nipple. Because this area happens to be where the male breast tissue is concentrated, the lump grows and develops relatively quickly, and the boundary of the lump is often not clear. The skin on the male chest will undergo some changes, and the skin or muscles on the chest will become adhered.

3. Twenty percent of male breast cancer patients will experience nipple retraction, scarring, shrinkage, etc. The nipples will also secrete some fluid, but men often ignore this symptom, which leads to the worsening of the disease. Some men will have axillary lymph nodes when they are newly diagnosed. These lymph nodes will swell and be scattered, and will adhere to other skin tissues in the late stage.

Breast cancer in men will occur. Patients should not think that the probability of men getting breast cancer is low and not pay much attention to it. That is very wrong. It is necessary to detect and treat it early so as not to miss the best treatment stage. The patient's survival time will be increased and it will not cause the patient to die. Regular physical examinations should be carried out.
