Men Do Get Breast Cancer,
However, it's rarer because it does have to do with hormones.
It's usually found within men 60-70 with high estrogen levels in their bodies.
"Like all cells of the body, a man's breast duct cells can undergo cancerous changes. Because women have many more breast cells than men do and perhaps because their breast cells are constantly exposed to the growth-promoting effects of female hormones, breast cancer is much more common in women."
Hope that helps.

Men do get breast cancer. My brother had to have a male version of a mastectomy. They mammary glands but due to the lack of elevated levels of the female hormone estrogen, they just don't grow. Men don't get breasts but they are vulnerable to breast cancer.

They do. Montel Williams, the tv personality, got a double mastectomy because it appeared that he had cancer.

Men do get breast cancer too, but not as often as women, which is why you haven't heard about it. Less than 1% of men are diagnosed with breast cancer.

They do get it. However, it's not caught as often since men don't get mammograms and do breast exams. It's usually a fluke that they do find it before it's too severe to treat.

Men ARE at risk for breast cancer, especially if there is a history of breast cancer in their family--and should do breast exams!!!

Breast cancer is both genetic and hormonally influenced . Improper Estrogen levels ( too hign compared to Progesterone and Testosterone ) can trigger or cause breast cancer .

That's the thing. Men do get breast cancer. They have pretty much the same mechanism as women, but they feel embarassed to go to a doctor and tell them they think they have a lump in their chest. Men need to check for lumps just as much as women.

Men DO get breast cancer, although it is much rarer than the incidences in the women. There is no hard science as proof that any breast cancer is hormone related. You might go to WEDMD.com and reasearch this topic, if you're really interested in it.
