Do men get breast cancer?Many people do not realise that men can develop breast cancer. Both men and women have breast tissue. Men have much less breast tissue than women. Most of the breast tissue in men is located behind the nipple. Breast cancer is uncommon in men, accounting for less than 1% of all breast cancers. “I had quite a few men say to me ‘that’s a woman’s disease’ and I had to say, no it’s not, you could get it too”. |
