Men should also be wary of breast cancer

For most male friends, breasts are almost dispensable and the most easily ignored organs in the body. Because they cannot develop and grow like female breasts, male friends naturally think that their breasts will not suffer from related diseases, such as breast cancer.

In fact, breast disease is definitely not exclusive to women, and men should also be alert to the occurrence of breast cancer. Although 99% of breast cancer patients are women, the unfortunate 1% will also fall on men. According to statistics from the National Health Association of the United States, 40,000 women die from breast cancer in the United States each year, and 450 men die from breast cancer at the same time.

This is because breast cancer is caused by the appearance of malignant tumor tissue in breast cells. Although breasts are dispensable for men, it is undeniable that men's breasts also have mammary tissue, so they can also cause breast cancer. It's just that due to differences in physiological structure, the levels of estrogen in men and women are different, so women are more likely to develop breast cancer than men.

In addition, due to men's neglect of breast health, male breast cancer is often diagnosed in the late stage, delaying the best treatment time. Therefore, in order to detect breast cancer early, modern men also need to undergo breast X-ray examinations appropriately.
