Did you know? Both men and women are capable of being diagnosed with breast cancer.
In the United States, about 240,000 women and 2,100 men are diagnosed with breast cancer each year. The American Cancer Society estimates that in 2023, about 2,800 new cases of invasive breast cancer will be diagnosed in men.
That’s why early detection, prevention, and support are crucial, and can help thousands avoid a delayed diagnosis. Let’s inspire both men and women to get educated and learn more.
It’s essential to understand the risk factors, signs and symptoms, screening methods and treatment options. Staying updated with the latest information and research is very important.
How do we go about, educating, spreading awareness and sharing information to the people we care about?
Encourage an open conversation about self-care, and include the topic of understanding breast cancer and that it’s a disease that affect both men and women. It has a high survival rate when detected early. Look into pamphlets from healthcare providers, charity organizations like the American Cancer Society, reputable TV/Movie documentaries, books and health magazines.
