Today is the annual "Pink Ribbon day care." "Pink Ribbon" is the world's most influential breast cancer prevention and treatment activities in each October for the third Friday of "Pink Ribbon day care."
It is understood that the Shenzhen female breast cancer incidence was significantly upward trend, the second in Shenzhen City People's Hospital of breast surgery in the head nurse, the last year the hospital received nearly 200 patients suffering from breast cancer, while only less than two years ago, a total of 300 people .
In Shenzhen, a woman named Su Li, in the most glorious cause of suffering from breast cancer. Has experienced the darkest days, decided to select and care for the compatriots in the breast of public welfare undertakings. March 8 this year, she created the world's first "Pink Ribbon" named, breast health care for China's public welfare Chinese website Pink Ribbon care charity network, and the site of a public good "for help, help Oxfam "Platform.
Graphic: wear a pink ribbon Li Su -
Establish a "Pink Ribbon" website
Li Su was born in the 1960s in Jiangsu. August 1991, Li Su came to Shenzhen. She Maosuizijian access to the U.S. Secretary of the Concord Group of duties. Her passion in the crafts, from working as a family entrepreneur. She happily live.
October 2003, Li Su Youru touch to the top of a mass, but she did not attach importance to. Six months later, the annual physical examination was informed the three hospitals: suspected to be cancer.
"That their suffering from breast cancer after surgery, and this is the most painful of my life, the most brutal, the most isolated and most helpless moments." Su Li said.
In a fortuitous opportunity to come into contact with Li Su "Pink Ribbon." Li Su was touched: If the "Pink Ribbon", the awareness of prevention, we might have avoided misfortune. She wanted to know more female compatriots, "Pink Ribbon" and know how to prevent breast cancer. Thus, this year 38, she established the world's first "Pink Ribbon" named after the breast health care for China's public welfare Chinese website Pink Ribbon charity care network. Li Su said: "I hope through this website to convey a caring, a female friend of his and the entire society to care for women."
"Pink Ribbon" are more cognitive
Li Su-now the whole focus of life in the "Pink Ribbon net." Li Su said: "Many people, including my parents, not the start I created this site to understand the move.

Now site Organization "on foot Lugu Lake", also received the support of many netizens. One of the cancer patients from Shanghai, she was very eager to participate in this event, but the economy is relatively difficult, netizens that situation, all lend a helping hand.
Li Su slightly embarrassed to say, "I regret that the 'Pink Ribbon Network' had not been able to help too many people, because we can not raise enough money. Web site now features more universal knowledge to prevent breast, Awaken people to Breast awareness and focus on the interaction between patients. "
Li Su said that the ability of individuals is limited, and the whole society can care for energy is limitless, my dream is to the relevant departments of China and Pink Ribbon care Foundation, founded in major cities throughout the country Pink Ribbon care clubs, Universal access to prevention treatment than the love of healthy milk base.

The story behind the painting of breast cancer
"Bathed in the Bate of the Palestinian" Rembrandt creation in 1654 of a canvas paintings, this pair of paintings derived from a story in the Bible: King David in his palace one night Youguang the top floor, next to the palace to see a The buildings house an open window, showing a beautiful young woman in the shower - she is the king of his generals You Lie (URIAH) Bate's wife leaves Pakistan. David Xienian color center Dunqi, You Lie off by fighting outside the machine, will be called up Bate of the Pakistani court took the opportunity raped Bate of Pakistan and of their pregnancy. For the long-term possession of the Palestinian beautiful Bate, David in front of the command to the commander of the closure of the confidential documents to allow You Lie will be sent to the most intense fighting in front of the first line to be You Lie As for the death. The results, and soon You Lie really died in the front line, to achieve the objective of David, married a year later Bate of the Palestinian living side by side for the Queen. However, due to its Bi bad behavior contrary to God's will be their blood to pay for the cost of the curse. The results, he and Bate of the Palestinian children born not long on mortality, David was also the launching of punishment. It is the performance of this pair of paintings Bate of the Palestinian to accept servant in the bathroom at the foot bath to receive and read the hypocritical said David sent condolences to the letter, the kind of sadness, helplessness, blur the expression state of trance.
One day in 1967, a grid Rakow called the surgeon in Italy to watch this pair of works found that painting Bate of the Palestinian right and the left breast than the relatively more asymmetry, it appears that some swelling, skin Color also be changed, but the left armpit Department uplift package pieces! All of these signs seemed to imply that Bate of the left breast of the Palestinian problem - his mind a lightning-liang: breast cancer!
With the vision of modern medicine to look at their signs, can be said to have painted a model of breast cancer the most typical clinical manifestations. Early breast cancer the most common performance is a painless breast alone, the small mass and surrounding tissue boundaries unclear, in the breast was not easy to promote. With the increase of cancer, can cause partial breast uplift. If the ligament involved Cooper (within the breast tissue and skin and vertical fiber), so that it can shorten the surface of skin cancer causes depression, medicine called "Jiuwo levy." Areola or nipple near the lead to invasive cancer due to the side of cancer and then make a flat nipple, retraction and depression. If the cancer continues to increase, such as the skin lymphatic cancer cells were blocked from returning lymphatic obstacles, bleeding leather edema, skin, "orange peel-like" change. To the development of advanced breast cancer, can be penetrated the chest wall, which Aikuai fixed in the chest wall hard to promote. Such as cancer invaded large areas of skin, skin color can change, and a skin nodules, and sometimes also Pokui form of skin ulcers. Lymphatic metastasis of breast cancer more common in the first axillary, a major performance for the axillary lymph nodes can be mass. Breast cancer in the natural course of 2.5-3 years. According to Georgia Rakow above, painting models Zuoru local uplift, local skin "Jiuwo levy" and "orange peel-like" change, a mass left armpit, and history shows that the model in the treatment of chronic illnesses 2 Died around the year, these models are indications that the risk of breast cancer is a big possibility.
Rembrandt used his unique nature of the sharp eyes of the paintings depict precise figures, and has shown and human diseases, health-related topics as the future medical scientists, historians of the important reference and research clues

A story on breast cancer II
However, with regard to breast cancer story is far from over, we talk in the final, Mary Clair said that she engage in a lifetime breast cancer genetic research, but now found as the family has obvious as the genetic characteristics of breast cancer only a matter of fact Case Not less than one-tenth of the other 90 per cent of the breast cancer patients with genetic diseases in fact no direct relations. So in the end what is the causal factor in breast cancer? »
Now more popular is that a person's risk of breast cancer get sick from the first period with her first child to the health of the relevant time interval, the longer the interval, the greater the risk of illness! The discovery of historical data, in the mid-19th century, generally a 15-year-old girl to menstruation, 20-year-old Health and first child, so is the five-year intervals; Now, an average of 12-year-old girl started menstruation, 25-year-old Health The first child, the whole of the interval by more than double, while breast cancer is likely to get sick just by the more than double. In addition to historical data, scientists are still made in the modern women's risk of breast cancer associated with the time between the curve, also found a similar proportional relationship between some physiologist from the growth of cancer cells by a mechanism in the interpretation of this law . . . Of course, is still at the stage of hypotheses, but even if true-in other words, but also the law of the group, put each of them still can not predict!
Mentioned here, I think, if this hypothesis is correct, it is really a very helpless and irony! From the 19th century to the present, this society is a major progress of women have freedom of choice, now (of course, in most cases), women have access to higher education, to have equal status to competition, have full freedom To choose the subject of marriage, the right to decide independently whether or not the children and when to children, all this freedom and equality, including the direct consequences of social pressure on women's larger, naturally formed on the above mentioned The time interval of growth! With these women in freedom, under these pressures, all of a sudden heard such a return: "Oh, you are more likely to have a breast cancer! FAINT !!!!!!
And carefully think about this equality and opportunity is not abstract many people may seek to return for a lifetime, now we have to tell them: "Oh, you talk to these may make you a breast cancer !!! FAINT !!!!!! FAINT !!!!!! FAINT !!!!!!
So I said to Mary Clair: "Prof. King, as much as I respect and admire your work, I hope this is not true!" Mary Clair answered very lovely. "Easy, kid! This is not my favorite either! Have I told you that I had my first baby when I was 33?". . . . . .
When we talk after the end, I would like to have this problem, I suddenly found before the hope that a bit useless, this hypothesis is right or wrong fait accompli, not my hope can be changed, and for a useful point of hope should be "I hope we can find the truth early! '
Because whether or not to this hypothesis, the more profound the power of science is that it should be a very early discovery of the truth, even if the truth is not so satisfactory! Women have the freedom of choice and equality of status is always a good thing, science can help in this one is for women to choose to do in the time have sufficient information to make informed decision!

A story on breast cancer I
Although a lot of disadvantages of insomnia, but at least it is a benefit to you a quiet extra hours during the day so that you can do no time or no mood to do. . . For example updated blog:)
Because my thesis that women involved in breast cancer treatment and prevention factors research, I have to know the uw a professor of genome science ---- Mary Clair, she is to carry out the genetic factors of breast cancer experts, but to I feel more like an old lady like Xiankan life, according to fashion point of view, I think she has unlimited enthusiasm nosy science behind the story, this is actually very interesting!
Today she spoke to me a very funny story: that she is in Gangjin uw when the assistant professor, she decided to engage in genetic breast cancer research, and his fight for his life to the first NIH funding. For those who engage in genetic diseases, the most important thing is to find spectrum of family data, which means you have to find some typical of a genetic history of the family, then as many as possible to collect the entire family, everyone (including the one to grandparents And down to various branches of the child) cases records and DNA samples of their collection (the best example is probably the family spectrum hemophilia record of the British royal family:). Of course we can imagine, this is very difficult for the data, so at the beginning of Mary Clair only three-on-hand in this family! In her into such a predicament, just to catch up with NIH birthday, when the Seattle intend to do a television interview programs, inform the public of the NIH in support of what kind of projects; Pianqiao Mary Clair to catch up with friends on television, therefore They find her, gave her 90 seconds of the time, Mary Clair used by 90 seconds that we are now doing breast cancer research, if your whole family, there are more than four cases of breast cancer patients, please contact us, Also announced on the screen of her phone number!
Has been here, the stories are boring! But the most dramatic colors happened in a programme broadcast that night, the night of living in California, Mrs. Reagan (Nancy Reagan) had been diagnosed with breast cancer! National overnight sensation, all the people all of a sudden concern from the beginning of breast cancer, and this 90 seconds of television programs from Seattle to California was by television, After resale, even in the final to the ABC show, which Xiazai Mary Clair phone Numbers became widely known! The next year, Mary Clair laboratory in the whole of the calls and busy throughout the country to collect data and samples, even until the last they have accumulated more than 100 such families! Mary Clair has talked about this or Meifeisewu, she said to me, more than 100 families have such data, she wrote a paper record for repeated, Wuwangbusheng, NIH is the icing on the cake of course, continue to provide adequate funding, and she herself is also In a wild, and then to assistant to associate professor, she said here will, of course, a sigh: "I owe all these to Mrs. Reagan!"
If this story to end here, of course, we all sigh in Mary Clair's lucky; But Mary Clair section of the most talked about is actually more lovable side of it!
In that over 100 families, most of a family for her study provides the most powerful data, but this family is very unfortunate! It originated in the United Kingdom, and later immigrants to the U.S. central plains, the whole family a total of four generations of existing data, every generation has many children, but no one on a university, not the high level of education, life is not wealthy, the most tragic The family is the most women died of breast cancer, and the average age of onset was less than 30-year-old! Breast cancer on the family of a woman as Chen Chen Yin pressure in the dark clouds overhead, it can be said in this home, a girl born from that moment onwards, she began to worry about their breast cancer when there will be. . .
Mary Clair this with a female patient contact for some time, this woman physically very bad, because her time in the 37-year-old was diagnosed with breast cancer and she has three children, the only daughter has just 21-year-old; Mary Clair She collected the samples, they persuaded her to collect samples of this little girl was found, although only 21 years old, but she has breast in a small amount of cancerous cells in this little girl was seven eleven, fundamental No health insurance, while her husband has abandoned her because of this. . .
Mary Clair then told me that she felt such a family, such a child to bear too much death, life is too sad for them too heavy, so her family made up the story also written out in Each conference, every seminar on the use of this story at the end of her research to progress, finally gave donations to a fund that one, so that those infected persons to accept the surgery as soon as possible, so that a future birth to a girl Regular inspections to go to the hospital, the first to take the treatment! Mary Clair most lovable to me that she is the Yige Jin stressed that this little girl was later remarry, found a much much better man!
Story mentioned here, in fact, there is a mystery not opened, why this one will be like a curse, like so unfortunately it » Finally, after almost five years of research, Mary Clair found that everything was all because it is one of the great-grandfather! He's a genetic mutation of a site, this mutation, the man can only be a small flaw, it would slightly increase the risk of colorectal cancer and pancreatic cancer, but when this
unfortunate gene passed on his daughter and her daughter Daughter, this small flaw will become fatal. . . This gene is also now notorious BRCA1, which is unfortunate families also found that BRCA1 to become contributors!
This is the story, Mary Clair like to add a conclusion, she felt that this story is an excellent example of how science is needed on the help of the media, need the support of the community, and how scientific feedback to the media, how can the return of those who helped Of our people and the whole of society and the future. . . .
For me, these noble Piequ the significance of education, at least I think this is an excellent example of what can be described to the silly point of life science research and the atmosphere and the legendary colors. . .

No amount of mental preparation could have blocked Jane Getting's reaction to her first look in the mirror after her bilateral mastectomy. In the split second before she could redirect her thoughts, two words flashed through her brain: "How ugly."
Like most women who develop breast cancer, Jane considered herself an unlikely candidate for the disease She was only 44. She ate healthy foods and enjoyed physical activity — water skiing in the summer, walking her beagles through all four seasons. She never smoked.
But breast cancer usually strikes at random. For Jane, the ordeal started the day she found a lump in her breast.
Firmly convinced that a lumpectomy and a course of radiation would remove her cancer, Jane had scarcely glanced at the breast reconstruction photos her doctor showed her.
But when the planned lumpectomy revealed evidence of cancer throughout Jane's breast, she took a completely different course. She opted to have both the diseased breast and the healthy breast removed. That way, she reasoned, she'd never go through the trauma of being diagnosed with breast cancer again.
One factor in her decision was the availability of reconstructive surgery. In fact, it never crossed her mind not to have reconstruction. For Jane, it was all part of her journey to better health. Also, she felt that breast reconstruction on both breasts at the same time gave her the best odds of achieving breast symmetry.
Choice of techniques: Reconstruction with implantsForgoing
reconstruction and using prostheses — artificial breasts placed in a bra — didn't appeal to Jane. She didn't want to worry about the prostheses moving out of place while swimming or water skiing.
Jane briefly considered a transverse rectus abdominal muscle (TRAM) flap — in which the surgeon takes abdominal muscle and tissue to create a new breast mound. But she dismissed this idea because she didn't want to lose any abdominal strength. Women who have had TRAM flap surgery often experience diminished abdominal strength after surgery because the surgeon constructs the new breast using part of a major abdominal muscle. TRAM flap surgery can lead to difficulty in lifting and performing daily tasks, depending on how much muscle is taken. For Jane, this wasn't a risk worth taking. "I was way too active," she said.
Instead, Jane opted for breast reconstruction using permanent breast implants. This method usually requires multiple surgeries. Initially, a surgeon inserts tissue expanders, which are temporarily used to gradually stretch the skin and underlying tissues. Several weeks later, the surgeon removes the tissue expanders and inserts the permanent implants.
For Jane, preparation for breast reconstruction started with the mastectomy. Jane's surgeon took care to make both surgical sites as similar as possible. The surgeon performed the mastectomy on her diseased breast and then removed an equal amount of skin and tissue from her healthy breast. This gave the plastic surgeon equal areas to work with and gave Jane the best odds for symmetrical appearance and a good cosmetic outcome.
Tissue expansion: Gradual, sometimes uncomfortable process

Tissue expansion
A few weeks after her mastectomy, Jane began the first step toward reconstruction — tissue expansion. At the end of her mastectomy surgery, her plastic surgeon placed saline tissue expanders under her chest muscle.
"You couldn't tell that by looking at me, of course," Jane said, "but they were there. I was flat as a board, but I could feel the expanders beneath my skin."
Having the tissue expanders in place when she woke up from surgery didn't affect Jane's post-surgical care. Initially, the tissue expanders weren't uncomfortable in themselves.
Tissue expansion involved weekly visits to her doctor to have the expanders filled with saline. This was an accelerated pace for expansion — many women opt instead for two- to three-week intervals for the expansion injections. But Jane wanted to be done as quickly as possible. As long as she could tolerate the discomfort associated with each expansion visit, her doctor agreed to the schedule.
The drawbacks of more rapid tissue expansion included the potential for stretch marks on the breast skin and discomfort during the process.
For many women, there is some discomfort associated with the tissue expansion process. Jane experienced pain that typically peaked one to two hours after her tissue expanders were filled, and tenderness and discomfort that continued for a few days afterward. The pain and discomfort Jane experienced were due in large part to her accelerated tissue expansion process. For Jane, the entire process took only eight weeks, and she avoided developing stretch marks.
Breast implants and nipple reconstructionEventually, Jane had surgery to remove the tissue expanders and place her permanent implants. The surgeon used the scars from her mastectomy surgery to make the incisions, so Jane has only one set of scars. The scars run horizontally across Jane's breasts not quite the entire width.
A few weeks after getting her permanent implants, Jane underwent nipple reconstruction. Nipple reconstruction concealed her scars to a certain degree. After two tattooing sessions to color the skin surrounding the new nipples, Jane's breast reconstruction was complete.
Jane realizes that she'll need to have her implants replaced at some point, for instance if she develops troublesome scar tissue or if an implant ruptures. And that means another surgery. "But I'm OK with that," she said. "I knew going in to the surgery that they would need to be replaced." Although she plans to wait on that decision until she's faced with it, Jane anticipates that she will have her implants replaced.
Getting used to a new self
There are a few things that Jane's more aware of after breast reconstruction. She massages her breasts daily, which helps keep the tissue loose and prevents capsular contracture — a buildup of fibrous scar tissue that constricts the space where the implants are located.
Jane also pays attention to heat and cold, and the effect they can have on her breasts. Because she has less sensation than she used to, she takes care not to burn herself, for instance from cooking splatters. She also bundles up in cold weather. The thin layer of skin and muscle covering her breast implants doesn't offer much blood flow to keep the tissue warm. This increases her risk of frostbite and tissue damage if she gets too cold.
Life after breast cancer: Better than everLife has settled back into place for Jane. She's up to speed at work, and she's returned to her active lifestyle. In fact, on the one-year anniversary of her breast cancer diagnosis, Jane marked the occasion by participating in a three-day, 60-mile breast cancer walk. She's back on water skis, too.
Her breast reconstruction complete, Jane has returned to her passion — water skiing.
Jane has no regrets about her decision for mastectomy and breast reconstruction. Despite going through the anxious and traumatic ordeal of having breast cancer, Jane now focuses on the positive things that have come from her experience. Drawing on this in her role as a physician's assistant, she's better able to counsel her patients who have breast cancer.
"I've walked in their shoes. I know what it feels like. It's so rewarding to be there for them and to reassure them. It's one of the greatest gifts from something horrible that came into my life."
Editor's note: Since first sharing her story in 2005, Jane remains very happy with her choice in breast reconstruction. Her nipple tattoos faded somewhat, so she repeated the tattooing process, but she learned this is common in nipple reconstruction. Jane's enjoying her active lifestyle and thankful for her good health.

An early breast cancer patients the true story
A year ago, early spring afternoon, get results from the hospital, the doctor told I may be suffering from breast cancer, if confirmed will need surgery removed Zuoru. I had a sense of a vague, doctors said a lot behind, I also heard a word clearance. From the Clinic out, I hide in the hospital toilet, quietly shed tears, laments fate of poor, why such a thing just fall on my head……
Although her husband comforted that he is the love of my people, my heart, my body is not the case, he will not Xianqi, but I still would like to "perfect" in the face of his. So she said to conservative treatment, if not……. Her husband did not say that behind the words, I know what he would like to say, tears can not help but flow out. Over the past year through the multi-looking, I found a husband for a good doctor Cui Fu Ying, through the meticulous treatment of her, I preservation of the breast.
A few days ago, Shenzhen Chunnuanhuakai days, in the Pok Oi Hospital Division of the breast-Fu Ying, director sent a text message, reminding me remember that regular breast examination. Watching the simple words, I feel that special warmth. In fact, I should thank fate and the crowd in the city come and go, I encounter a good husband, a good doctor. With them, I have a love, also has a healthy!
Eight years to her husband first said "I love you"
About a year ago, I often feel that Zuoru minor pain, I did not mind the beginning, until a bath once, I order to work out new Zuoru have a small mass. The weekend, worried about her husband accompanied me to the hospital for an examination, because the company temporary emergency, he Xianzou a person, a person, and so I stay inspection results.
Wait for the results of a few hours become very long, came back, I see a doctor in the eyes of the situation was not encouraging. Doctors say may be a "breast cancer", I present a blank, I do not know what to do. Although I do a good job in a prepared for the worst, but did not expect to breast removed. At home, everything in my eyes has become a no Shengqu, asked her husband call, I do not have the courage to. Can only send text messages to tell him the situation, the need for surgery.
Her husband made a good series of messages from a few, are comforted me. Only the last three words: "I love you!" Fall in love with her husband in 2003 married five years, he has never said to me, "I love you," he Shuoai in his heart enough. Today, he has finally spoken mouth. Seeing the words on the phone, I moved in a mess.
I love to become even stronger
I hope and faith usher in the dawn
She advised me many times, I have to Chenzao surgery, I am still not agreed to. I do not want to accept this reality, several hospitals have to review, are the same results, that need surgical treatment.
And from between Guangzhou and Shenzhen, in the face of one of the same diagnosis, I became Wannianjuhui, loss of life of the original fresh colors. The Internet, I read the writer Bi Shumin's "Save the breast," if they lose a breast, women will not "perfect", the wounds of the soul is not self-evident. I watched every day of a haggard, with my husband side of conservative treatment, while thinking of work to do to me, I have to放宽心, said no matter what kind of results, I am also his wife. Over the past six months, despite the conservative treatment failed to find a way, in her husband's encouragement, I adjusted a good attitude, a positive face life. I can not let her husband worry about, so that he disappointed, I let him have witnessed the vulnerability. Because I am a husband's wife, and his wife.
Met a good doctor
Preservation of the breast to me "perfect"
As I determined, ready to accept treatment, to my surprise her husband. He introduced through a friend, found in the Pok Oi Hospital Breast Zuozhen by Fu Ying, director of Choi, specifically from the Internet that Cui Zhuren some of the advanced deeds of saving lives. In the evening, I am quite Nanmian and later Mimihuhu made a dream, Chunhua Qiushi is a beautiful scene.
The next day morning, I am excited and her husband rushed to Pok Oi Hospital. I see, instead of the usual Cui Zhuren Wenzhen, but I Xiangen so homely, swap my mentality before slowly to chat about the condition above. Peeling through minimally invasive breast biopsy and diagnosed with breast atypical hyperplasia, breast cancer is a very early change. Cuizhu Ren told me that fortunately found early, on the one hand through the minimally invasive surgical resection lesions, on the other endocrine adjustment at the same time, three-step cycle through conservative treatment therapy, if the night for a period of time, really breast removed. Cui Zhuren finished listening, I know that they "saved"! Cui Zhuren give me a few months of meticulous treatment, I Zuoru the mass magically disappear, as is the implementation of the minimally invasive surgery, breast on the left no traces of that.
This reminds me of the experience a period of treatment, I have always felt fortunate for himself, met a good doctor, Chengquan me as a woman's "perfect."

How is breast cancer diagnosed and treated in men?
The same techniques -- physical exams, mammograms, and biopsies (examining small samples of the tissue under a microscope) -- that are used to diagnose breast cancer in women are also used in men.
The same four treatments that are used in treating breast cancer in women -- surgery, radiation, chemotherapy, and hormones -- are also used to treat the disease in men. The one major difference is that men with breast cancer respond much better to hormone treatments than women do. As discussed in the section on breast cancer in women, many breast cancers have hormone receptors, that is, they have specific sites on the cancer cells where specific hormones like estrogen can act.
Men are much more likely to have these receptors than women, making hormonal treatment more likely to be effective.

What are the symptoms of breast cancer in men?
Symptoms are very similar to those in women. Most male breast cancers are diagnosed when a man discovers a lump on his chest. However, unlike women, men tend to go to the doctor with more severe symptoms that often include bleeding from the nipple and abnormalities in the skin above the cancer. The cancer has already spread to the lymph nodes in a large number of these men
How serious is breast cancer in men?
Doctors used to think that breast cancer in men was a more severe disease than it was in women, but it now seems that for comparably advanced breast cancers, men and women have similar outcomes.
The major problem is that breast cancer in men is often diagnosed later than breast cancer in women. This may be because men are less likely to be suspicious of an abnormality in that area. In addition, their small amount of breast tissue is harder to feel -- making it more difficult to catch these cancers early, and allowing tumors to spread more quickly to the surrounding tissues.

Which men are more likely to get breast cancer?
It is very rare for a man under age 35 to get breast cancer, but the likelihood of developing the disease increases with age. Beyond that, African-American men appear to be at greater risk than white men. In fact, in some places in Africa breast cancer in men is much more common. Also, college-educated professionals appear to have a higher risk than the general male population.
The clearest risk for developing breast cancer seems to be in men who have had an abnormal enlargement of their breasts (called gynecomastia) in response to drug or hormone treatments, or even some infections and poisons. Individuals with a rare genetic disease called Klinefelter's syndrome, who often have gynecomastia as part of the syndrome, are especially prone to develop breast cancer

Why do I not hear about breast cancer in men as much as I hear about breast cancer in women?
Breast cancer in men is a very rare disease. This is possibly due to their smaller amount of breast tissue and the fact that men produce smaller amounts of hormones like estrogen that are known to affect breast cancers in women.
In fact, only about 1 in 100 breast cancers affect men and only about 10 men in a million will develop breast cancer.

Men don't have breasts. How can they get breast cancer?
Even though men do not have breasts like women, they do have a small amount of breast tissue. In fact the "breasts" of an adult man are similar to the breasts of a girl before puberty, and consist of a few ducts surrounded by breast and other tissue. In girls, this tissue grows and develops in response to female hormones, but in men -- who do not secrete the same amounts of these hormones -- this tissue does not develop.
However, because it is still breast tissue, men can develop breast cancer. In fact, men get the same types of breast cancers that women do, although cancers involving the milk producing and storing regions of the breast are very rare.

How is breast cancer diagnosed?
If you have a symptom or screening test result that suggests cancer, your doctor must find out whether it is due to cancer or to some other cause. Your doctor may ask about your personal and family medical history. You may have a physical exam. Your doctor also may order a mammogram or other imaging procedure. These tests make pictures of tissues inside the breast. After the tests, your doctor may decide no other exams are needed. Your doctor may suggest that you have a follow-up exam later on. Or you may need to have a biopsy to look for cancer cells.
Clinical breast exam
Your health care provider feels each breast for lumps and looks for other problems. If you have a lump, your doctor will feel its size, shape, and texture. Your doctor will also check to see if it moves easily. Benign lumps often feel different from cancerous ones. Lumps that are soft, smooth, round, and movable are likely to be benign. A hard, oddly shaped lump that feels firmly attached within the breast is more likely to be cancer.
Diagnostic mammogram
Diagnostic mammograms are x-ray pictures of the breast. They take clearer, more detailed images of areas that look abnormal on a screening mammogram. Doctors use them to learn more about unusual breast changes, such as a lump, pain, thickening, nipple discharge, or change in breast size or shape. Diagnostic mammograms may focus on a specific area of the breast. They may involve special techniques and more views than screening mammograms.
Ultrasound
An ultrasound device sends out sound waves that people cannot hear. The waves bounce off tissues. A computer uses the echoes to create a picture. Your doctor can view these pictures on a monitor. The pictures may show whether a lump is solid or filled with fluid. A cyst is a fluid-filled sac. Cysts are not cancer. But a solid mass may be cancer. After the test, your doctor can store the pictures on video or print them out. This exam may be used along with a mammogram.
Magnetic resonance imaging
Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) uses a powerful magnet linked to a computer. MRI makes detailed pictures of breast tissue. Your doctor can view these pictures on a monitor or print them on film. MRI may be used along with a mammogram.
Biopsy
Your doctor may refer you to a surgeon or breast disease specialist for a biopsy. Fluid or tissue is removed from your breast to help find out if there is cancer.
Some suspicious areas can be seen on a mammogram but cannot be felt during a clinical breast exam. Doctors can use imaging procedures to help see the area and remove tissue. Such procedures include ultrasound-guided, needle-localized, or stereotactic biopsy.

What are the symptoms of breast cancer?
Common symptoms of breast cancer include:
A change in how the breast or nipple feels
A lump or thickening in or near the breast or in the underarm area
Nipple tenderness
A change in how the breast or nipple looks
A change in the size or shape of the breast
A nipple turned inward into the breast
The skin of the breast, areola, or nipple may be scaly, red, or swollen. It may have ridges or pitting so that it looks like the skin of an orange.
Nipple discharge (fluid) Early breast cancer usually does not cause pain. Still, a woman should see her health care provider about breast pain or any other symptom that does not go away. Most often, these symptoms are not due to cancer. Other health problems may also cause them. Any woman with these symptoms should tell her doctor so that problems can be diagnosed and treated as early as possible.
