Breast cancer, considered a women's disease, also strikes men. It is the exact same condition in both sexes and affects both the same way. Though it is far rarer in men than women.
In women, breast cancer presents itself as a lump in the breast which can usually be felt before it is seen. In men, the lump usually occurs just underneath the nipple and is easier to detect during a physical exam because men have much less breast tissue.
If you have a lump on your chest, do not feel shy about it; do not wait for your annual checkup. The chances of a fibrous lump being cancerous are a strong possibility and you should get it checked as soon as possible.
Though breast cancer in men is rare, there is a condition called Gynecomastia which occurs in men and can be mistaken for a cancerous mass. Gynecomastia is when hormone imbalance causes enlarged breasts in men and this can be mistakenly interpreted as some sort of tumor.
Though occurrences of breast cancer in men are rare, men over the age of 65 should make an effort to educate themselves about the condition. They should not ignore the symptoms and should immediately seek to see a doctor if they feel a lump on their chest.
