Breast cancer is not just stalking women. Although the risk of small experience, men who develop breast cancer tend to have higher severity than women with breast cancer.
The study, led by Mikael Hartman from the National University of Singapore said, although he chances of breast cancer less than one percent, but for those who already have it, a very high risk of death.
Hartman and his team analyzed data on cancer cases in 1970 in Denmark, Finland, Norway, Sweden, Singapore, Geneva, and Switzerland. These data include 460 thousand women and 2,700 men with breast cancer.
Based on the analysis of these data, the number of men who survived the disease for five years pascadiagnosis as much as 72 percent. That figure is less than the number of women who are able to survive as much as 78 percent.
"Men generally just realized there is a lump in her breast through an indirect examination when went to the doctor, in contrast to an earlier woman realizes there are problems in her breast," said Hartman told Reuters.
"Breast cancer in men is rare, but the risk is still there. So if a man finds a lump or something was wrong with her breasts, should immediately see a doctor," Hartman added.
In the exposure in the Journal of Clinical Oncology, the researchers say that men generally takes several months before realizing the symptoms of breast cancer. A common cause is an increase in the hormone estrogen as a result of certain diseases or abnormalities of the gene.
United States National Cancer Institute data show that the majority of men who developed breast cancer aged 60-70 years. "No wonder that men who suffer from cancer are generally already at an advanced stage," said Susan Dent Hospital Cancer Centre, Ottawa, Canada.
