Breast cancer is the commonest cancer that affects women. However, can it affect men too?

The answer to this question is, yes it can!

The incidence of male breast cancer is relatively low, however, it does exist. 

This is not something men really think about as breast cancer has been so strongly associated as a disease that mainly affects women.

Because the incidence is low, we don't talk about it very much. Awareness surrounding this topic is poor which actually means that men don't seek help as readily as women would if they experience breast symptoms.

This may be one of the reasons why men present with larger cancers and in a more advanced stage compared to women.
