Detailed explanation-1: -False. But, most men will not get breast cancer. Male breast cancer is a very rare disease. The ratio of male-to-female breast cancer diagnosis is 1 man to every 120 women.
Detailed explanation-2: -More than 2, 700 men are diagnosed with breast cancer each year and approximately 530 men die from the disease, according to the American Cancer Society. In comparison, about 287, 850 women will be diagnosed in 2022 and 43, 250 will die, according to the same statistics.
Detailed explanation-3: -The incidence of breast cancer in men is far less than in women, in part because, although the breast tissue in both is similar, men have mainly fat and fibrous breast tissue called stroma, and they have fewer ducts and lobules.
Detailed explanation-4: -Ernie Green. Ernie Green, a fullback with the Cleveland Browns from 1962 to 1968, discovered a lump in his chest in 2005, but was told not to worry by a doctor, due to the rarity of male breast cancer. Green got a second opinion, and a mammogram and biopsy revealed that it was indeed cancer. Did He Survive?
