A member asked:
Is it possible for males to get breast cancer?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: But rarely. Only 2, 000 new cases occur every year in the u. S. Males who are brca carriers have a higher risk, maybe 4-8% chance during their lifetime. Men should examine their breasts, be aware of any lump or other breast symptoms, and promptly seek medical advise.
