Hina Azmi/Dehradun. Most people know only about breast cancer occurring in women, but in the last few years, cases of breast cancer occurring in men have come to light. Like women, men can also get breast cancer. It is said that breast cancer occurs when cancer cells develop in the breast tissue of a man and its initial symptoms are not recognized, due to which it starts spreading in the body and also becomes serious. Many men also ignore the symptoms. However, in case of breast cancer, the breast tissues are removed through surgery.
Breast cancer symptoms in men
Giving information, Dr. Daulat Singh, HOD of Cancer Department of Doon Medical College Hospital, Dehradun, the capital of Uttarakhand, said that breast cancer is mainly found in women, but some cases are also seen in men. Men can also have the same symptoms of breast cancer as women, such as lump in the breast, armpit axilla, bleeding from the breast can be its symptoms. He said that there is a lack of awareness regarding this among the men of our society. This type of hormonal imbalance can lead to cancer. This can also happen genetically. There is a hormone based disease, which is called Klinefelter syndrome. In this, the estrogen level increases and the androgen level decreases, which causes gynecomastia, which can later lead to breast cancer. This danger also remains for those who consume excessive alcohol. It can be treated only after finding out its cause.
Men’s breast cancer treatment
Like women, men can also have symptoms of breast cancer, hence its treatment is given the same as them. Breast cancer tissue is removed through surgery, radiotherapy and chemotherapy. To avoid breast cancer, it is necessary to get checked from time to time and be cautious.
