Whether you're age 20 or 70, breast health is an important topic for all women (and men!). One in eight women will be diagnosed with breast cancer, so ensuring your breasts stay healthy should be a priority. You can help keep your breasts healthy by practicing good breast self-care at any age.
October is widely known as breast cancer awareness month. But, something not widely known about breast cancer is that men can also get breast cancer. While men developing breast cancer is rarer than women, it is not unheard of. The risk of being diagnosed with breast cancer as a man is about 1 in 1,000, but that risk still exists. Breast cancer does not discriminate.
