Men can get breast cancer too. [Image in corner: Newborn baby wrapped in a white blanket and blue Care Bears.] [Stephanie] All babies are born with a small amount of breast tissue.

[Image in corner: Split image of a woman and a man wearing a white shirt and both holding pink ribbons] [Stephanie] During puberty, women begin developing more breast tissue, and men do not. But because men are born with a small amount of breast tissue, they can develop breast cancer. In the United States, 1 in 8 women will be diagnosed with invasive breast cancer, and 1 in 833 men will be diagnosed with breast cancer too. [Image in corner: A blue x-ray of a breast with a red cancerous cell.] [Stephanie] What are the symptoms of breast cancer we need to be aware of? Most common symptoms for both genders are a lump or thickening in your breast tissue, change in the size, shape, or appearance of a breast, changes to your nipple, areola, or breast skin, newly inverted nipple, or redness or [Image in corner: Bowl of Oranges] [Stephanie] pitting of the skin over your breast (like the skin of an orange). Let’s talk about men’s breast cancer first. [Image in corner: Grey image of a male with a glowing yellow circle on the chest indicating cancer.] [Stephanie] Most common type of breast cancer in men is ductal carcinoma, where cancer began in the milk ducts. [Image in corner: Illustration of a Male Breast Anatomy] [Stephanie] There are other types of breast cancer, which is very rare, such as Paget’s disease of the nipple and inflammatory breast cancer. Treatment for men’s cancer often includes surgery, removing the tumor and surrounding breast tissues. Depending on what type of cancer, which stage, or where it is located, doctors may recommend using chemotherapy or radiation. Most men with breast cancer have tumors that rely on hormones to grow (hormone sensitive). Doctors may recommend hormone therapy. [Image in corner: An illustration of a anatomic female breast including fatty tissue, lobules (milk sacs), milk ducts, and nipple.] [Stephanie] In women, breast cancer begins with cells in the milk-producing ducts, called invasive ductal carcinoma. Other cancer for women is called lobules or invasive lobular carcinoma, or any other cells or tissue within the breast. Women are faced with options of chemotherapy, radiation, and/or surgery to remove the cancerous mass. [Image in corner: Person’s arm wearing a lab coat, pointing to a family tree. Titled “Family History of Cancer.” [Stephanie] If a person has a strong family history of cancer, they need to discuss with their doctor and consider doing a genetic test. This can see if there is a gene mutation in one of several genes, especially breast cancer gene 1, called BRCA1, or breast cancer gene 2, called BRCA2. A person with BRCA1 or 2 has a greater risk of developing breast, ovarian and/or prostate cancer. [Image in corner: Illustrated picture of 4 doctors wearing scrubs and masks performing surgery on a covered person.] [Stephanie] Women with BRCA1 or 2 may choose to have a preventive medication or surgery. Preventive medication is an estrogen-blocking medication to reduce the risk of breast cancer. A preventive surgery is where a woman’s healthy breasts or ovaries are surgically removed. There are several ways you can help reduce the risk of breast cancer. [Image in corner: 3 illustrated women, laying on a pillow with their left hand behind their head. And different Breast Palpation Techniques is displayed, wedge motion (arrows coming out of the circle), Circular motion, and vertical strip motion (arrows going up and down.)] [Stephanie] Two of the most common preventive are yearly breast screening To do a breast examination, you’d need to either stand or lie down with your left arm behind your head and a pillow on your back. Using your three middle fingers on your right hand, press gently but firmly on your left breast, and do one of three motions: circular, wedge, or vertical motion. Once you finish, switch to your right arm and repeat with your right breast. If you are not sure about how to do the self examination properly, or have any questions or concerns, please talk with your doctor. It is important that your doctor is aware of any history of cancer in the family. Open communication with your doctor and annual physical examinations are one of the best ways to prevent yourself from cancer. [Visual Description: Ending- Light green background.
