Over 1,400 men will be diagnosed this year with breast cancer and the numbers are going up. So, chances are, our cases are more advanced resulting in higher mortality rates. This is sad, because a self-exam is private and easy to do. You're a man over 60 with higher than normal levels of estrogen. Personal and family history of breast cancer is a factor.
Signs are a lump, thickening, swelling, discharge or other changes in the breast.
We'll send you a reminder. With all the things you have to get done in your life every month, it's all too easy to forget to perform your breast self-exam. Numerous studies have shown that early detection increases breast cancer survival with successful treatment options.
