Can i have male breast cancer?
4 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Yes...: ...If you are a man, of course. Male breast cancer is rare, just a couple of thousand cases diagnosed every year in the us. The risk is higher in men who carry inherited traits like brca mutations. That said, it can happen to anyone so please see your doc if you notice breast lumps.

Yes,: about 1% of breast cancers occur in men. If you feel a breast lump, see your doctor. You may need a mammogram and/or ultrasound.
