Male breast cancer is rare but real โ about 1 in 100 breast cancer cases happen in men. How do you know if you or your family is at risk?
๐ญ Don't ignore changes in your chest. Look for dimpling, tenderness, and changes around the nipples.
๐ Stay active and eat right. Alcohol, hormone imbalances, and obesity are linked to cancer.
๐งฌ Know your genetic risk. Just like in women, certain versions of the BRCA1 and BRCA2 genes can substantially increase your risk.
