Breast cancer

Breast cancer is not a disease that affects only women – men can get it to, although it’s not as common. It only stands to reason that men can develop breast cancer because they, too, have breast tissue.

Usually, the cancer forms in the ducts, the tubes that carry milk for breastfeeding to the nipples, and the lobules, the glands that make the milk.
