Male breast cancer is a rare cancer that begins as a growth of cells in the breast tissue of men.
Breast cancer is typically thought of as a condition that happens in women. But everyone is born with some breast tissue, this means that anyone can get breast cancer… Anyone at all!
Breast cancer happens most often in older men, although it can occur at any age.
The exact cause of this disease in men is not known, however there are certain factors that can increase your risk of developing the disease, like genes and family history which includes inheriting faulty versions of genes called breast cancer gene 1 or breast cancer gene 2.
