Do men need a mammogram in cases of male breast cancer?
8 doctors weighed in across 3 answers
Likely: Physical examination & mammogram with possible breast ultrasound can be helpful in evaluating males for breast cancer. Needle biopsy of a firm breast mass may also be indicated.

Yes: Mammograms will show the breast tissue and any lupms in the breast. That is the case in both female as well as male breast cancer.

Yes,: breast cancer can occur in men, although not common. If there is a lump in a male breast, mammographic evaluation is appropriate.
