Breast cancer is often thought of as a condition that only affects women, but men can also develop it. The cancer develops in the small amount of breast tissue men have behind their nipples. The most common symptom is a hard, painless lump in one of the breasts.
It’s not clear exactly what causes breast cancer in men, although a number of things can increase your risk of developing the condition. The risk factors are:
- Age
- Genetics and Family History
- Estrogen
- Occupational Risks
- Radiation
