Male breast cancer

Male mammary cancer is a rare malignant tumor that accounts for 0.2% to 1.5% of all cancers in men and accounts for about 1% of breast cancer. It is precisely because of the misunderstanding that "men do not suffer from breast cancer", people often lose their vigilance. It is not until the late stage of men's breast cancer that breast cancer is discovered, and the best opportunity for treatment is missed. Theoretically, breast cancer is caused by the appearance of malignant tumor tissue in breast cells. Men also have breast tissue, so they can also cause breast cancer. It is just because of the difference in physiological structure that women are far more likely to develop breast cancer than men.
