A member asked:
What are the chances of men getting breast cancer?
5 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
1 in a 1000: Breast cancer remains very rare in men; only 1% of cases occur in men. All else being equal, men present with more advanced disease due to the lack of awareness of breast cancer and the absence of any screening studies such as mammograms. Matched stage for stage, survival is the same for men or women.

It is a rare thing: The incidence is only about 2%. It is not very common.
