A critical review on: Comprehending breast cancer in men with reference to female


Author(s): Veda A Vasudev, Mutthuraj D, GL Aruna and Kanthesh BM

Abstract: Although it is more common in women, men can still develop breast cancer. Men are discovered to have breast cancer in about 1 out of every 100 cases that are detected around the world. Breast cancer can affect men as well, even though it is generally associated with women. This is since, while it is far less prevalent, men do have breast tissue that has the potential to develop cancer, albeit in much less amounts than does breast tissue in women. Breast cancer arises from the mutation of breast cells into malignant cells, which proliferate and give rise to tumors. Although it usually affects women over 50, breast cancer can also strike men and younger people. Medical professionals may use chemotherapy to eradicate malignant cells or surgery to remove tumors to treat breast cancer. Male breast cancer [MBC] accounts for only 1% of all cases of breast cancer, which, in comparison to female breast cancer [FBC], is quite low, but it does happen, and it's vital to understand its possibility. Men are equally as likely as women to develop breast cancer if they have a first- or second-degree relative who has the disease. Research has indicated that having a parent or sibling with the condition can raise the risk of breast cancer in both male and female family members. Because of incomplete data, MBC has never received enough attention. Male breast tumors may develop palpable and manifest symptoms earlier than female breast tumors since men's breast sizes are smaller. However, men are more likely to delay seeking medical assistance, have gynecomastia concealing their breast tumors, and be ignorant of breast cancer. A detailed review regarding male breast cancer in respect to that of female breast cancer has been discussed in this article.
