Please explain why is breast cancer in males more severe than in females?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Not known for sure: But it is probably because of more advanced staging at diagnosis. Most people don't think of men getting breast cancer, so there is less self examination and lower level of suspicion by patients, and sometimes even by doctors.
