Delayed Progress in Detection and Treatment of Male Breast Cancer

Abstract

Cancer generally starts when cells begin to grow out of control in any organ in human body. The review in brief describes about breast cancer especially in men. Breast cancer occurs almost entirely in women, but men can get breast cancer too, where the cells usually form a tumor and can be identified over an X-ray or can also be felt as a lump at the breast region [1]. Of course, it is very little known about population–level patterns of incidence but is being prevalent and growing malignant diseases among men across the globe in past three decades. Like many other rare “orphan” diseases, male breast cancer is understudied. However, Male Breast Cancer (MBC) accounts for ∼1% of breast cancer cases identified every year [2-5].
