it's really true!
Have a look on the last news!
The special Risk Factors for Male Breast Cancer
- Only approximately 1-1.
5% of all breast cancer cases occur in

- Several risk factors have been identified that make some men more
likely to develop breast cancer than others.
These risk factors include:

between 60 and 70 years old.

have (or have had) breast cancer.
The Radiation exposure:
- Prior exposure to radiation (usually for treatment of a cancer)
is a risk factor for male breast cancer.
The Liver disease:
- If the liver is normal function, she helps with hormone
metabolism by binding proteins that carry hormones in the blood. If
the Man's has liver diseases such as cirrhosis, they tend to have
lower levels of androgens (male hormones) and on the other hand a
higher estrogens levels (female hormones).This reality puts them at
an increased risk of developing gynecomastia (non-cancerous tissue
growth) and breast cancer.
