Breast cancer : An uncontrolled growth of breast cells
Breast cancer is an uncontrolled growth of breast cells. Cancer has the potential to break through normal breast tissue barriers and spread to other parts of the body. While cancer is always caused by a genetic abnormality(in the genetic material), only 5 to 10% of cancers are inherited from your mother or father. Instead, 90% of breast cancers are due to genetic abnormalities that happen as a result of the aging process and life in general. Breast cancer in men is a rare disease. Less than 1% of all breast cancers occur in men. In 2005, when 211,400 women were diagnosed with breast cancer in the United States, 1,690 men were diagnosed with the disease.
Earlier diagnosis could make a life saving difference. With more research and more public awareness, men will learn that just like women they need to go to their doctor right away if they detect any persistent changes to their breasts. New approaches are being tried today, such as neoadjuvant chemotherapy, which allows more women to have breast conserving therapy by shrinking the tumor before surgery.
