Male Breast Cancer - what you should know about!
Have you know, that the breast cancer can also catch the man?
Yes - it's really true! Have a look on the last news!
The special Risk Factors for Male Breast Cancer - Only
approximately 1-1.5% of all breast cancer cases occur in men. -
Several risk factors have been identified that make some men
more likely to develop breast cancer than others.
These risk factors include: The Age: The average age of men
diagnosed with breast cancer is between 60 and 70 years old. The
history of the family: - 20% of men with breast cancer have
close female relatives who have (or have had) breast cancer.
The Radiation exposure: - Prior exposure to radiation (usually
for treatment of a cancer) is a risk factor for male breast
cancer.
The Liver disease: - If the liver is normal function, she helps
with hormone metabolism by binding proteins that carry hormones
in the blood. If the Man's has liver diseases such as cirrhosis,
they tend to have lower levels of androgens (male hormones) and
on the other hand a higher estrogens levels (female
hormones).This reality puts them at an increased risk of
developing gynecomastia (non-cancerous tissue growth) and breast
cancer.
Symptoms Male Breast Abnormalities - The most male breast
changes are due to benign (non-cancerous) abnormalities, such as
gynecomastia (non-cancerous tissue growth) - So, the men should
report any persistent breast changes to their physicians for
clinical evaluation. -The Symptoms of male breast cancer may
include: -a breast lump, -swelling, -skin dimpling or puckering,
-nipple retraction (the nipple turns inward), -redness or
scaling of the nipple or breast skin, -and nipple discharge
.
How to treating Male Breast Cancer
This will be depending on the type and stage
of breast cancer.
The following treatment will most likely be used:
Surgery - Radiation therapy - Chemotherapy - Hormone therapy
About the Survival Rates for Male Breast Cancer
Today, the survival rates are similar the women cancer, when the
treatment of the tumour begins at the same stage. Anyway, the
male breast cancer tends to be diagnosed in later stages than
female breast cancer.
The following chart is an approximate survival rate for each
stage of breast cancer. The percentages are only averages. The
chances of survival will differ for each man depending on his
own medical situation and several other factors, including new
treatment options, how he responds to treatment, etc.
STAGE 1 TUMOR SIZE less than 2 cm No Lymph Node 5year
Survivalrate 100 % STAGE 2 TUMOR SIZE Between 2-5 cm No Lymph
Node 5year Survivalrate 95 % STAGE 3 TUMOR SIZE More than 5 cm
No Lymph Node 5year Survivalrate 84 % STAGE 4 TUMOR SIZE not
applicable YES 5year Survivalrate 52 %
