Breast cancer is not just a woman’s disease. Men can get breast cancer too. The disease is much less common in men than it is in women. Older men are most likely to develop breast cancer. However, men of any age can get the disease. If a man is diagnosed with breast cancer early, the likelihood of being cured from it is high. Unfortunately, because many men avoid going to a doctor for minimal symptoms, many breast cancers among men are not diagnosed until the cancer is in a more advanced stage.
