Breast Cancer in Men…...
Yes men can also develop breast cancer - didn’t you know?
Men developing Breast Cancer is on the rise, but is still considered rare. Approximately 100 men are diagnosed with breast cancer each year. It is a fact that both men & women have breast tissue. However, the exact reason why some men develop breast cancer is still unknown
For men the most common risk factors are:
4 Getting older (occurs more commonly in men aged 50 and over
4 Having a strong Family history of Female and/or Male Breast Cancer
There are some studies that suggest that there may be a link between male breast cancer and some testicular disorders and exposure to excess radiation - however these theories are not yet proven.
Breast Cancer in Women…...
Breast cancer is the second leading cause of cancer-related death in Australian women, accounting for 15.5 per cent of all cancer deaths in women.
- It is estimated that 2,700 women will lose their lives to breast cancer in 2013 -
There are different types of Breast Cancer, and an abundance of support networks, websites and information available. If you are unsure about any lumps or changes in your breast, it is vital to seek professional advice from your doctor or specialist.
Early Breast Cancer - Cancer cells that are contained in the Breast and may or may not have spread into the lymph nodes and armpit.
Locally Advanced Cancer - When the cancer has spread to one or more of, the lymph nodes or other areas near the breast, or to tissues around the breast such as the skin, muscles or ribs, but there is no sign that it has spread to other parts of the body.
Secondary or Metastatic Breast Cancer - These terms are used interchangeably. Secondary breast cancer is the term used to describer cancer that has spread from the original site in the breast to other organs or tissues. For some women, secondary cancer may be the first diagnosis of breast cancer.
Pagets Disease - begins in the milk ducts and spreads to the skin of the nipple and areola (area around the nipple), but is a rare form. This type of cancer is one reason why the emphasise on keeping note of any notable changes that may occur around the breast area is important.
Inflammatory Breast Cancer (IBC) - Is a rapidly growing form, but is still referred to as rare. It is where the lymph vessels in the skin of the breast become blocked, causing the breast to look swollen red, and “inflamed”.
Breast Cancer develops in either the ducts or lobules of the breast. Milk is produced in the lobules, and travels through the ducts to the nipples.
Cancer cells develop when the cells lining the ducts or lobules become abnormal in size and shape and start multiplying in an uncontrollable way.
What are the Signs & Symptoms?
· New lumps or thickening in the breast or under the arm
· Changes to the nipple such as a change in shape, crusting, an ulcer, redness or inverting of the nipple.
· Discharge from the nipple which is bloodstained or occurs without squeezing
A change in the shape or size of a breast. This might be either an increase or decrease
*most breast changes are not due to cancer*
What can help in early detection?
Breast self-examination should be part of your weekly care routine and you should visit your doctor if you experience any breast changes it might be helpful to keep notes.
