Why Breast Cancer Occurs in Men

When we think of breast cancer, we automatically pink ribbon, wide awareness campaign and efforts through various media channels, and fund-raising walk-a-thons that we how breast cancer is a deadly disease that affects thousands does miss the imagination of women each year.

Due to high incidence among the female population, breast cancer women's health concern for most is considered. The concept that breast cancer can be diagnosed in men really is puzzling to some. Of all cases of breast cancer accounts for less than 1% of breast cancer in men, but it can be fatal if undetected and left untreated can. In 2009, it was estimated that 1910 men were diagnosed with breast cancer and 440 that same year was losing the battle.

How is it possible to develop male breast cancer is considered a legitimate position of a woman's upper torso frontal area is associated with is the question. In women, the body part is called breasts, while men are called the chest. Answer the last question is found in breast infrastructure. - Milk producers (women) glands, ducts - tiny tubes that carry milk to the nipples of lobules, and stroma - fatty and connective tissue around ducts and lobules and blood and lymph vessels lobules: Breast include three separate parts. Before puberty, both men and women and some ducts of the breast tissue is a small amount. Once puberty is reached, the differences in the breast anatomy is evident in both sexes. In women, female hormones (estrogen and progesterone) causes increased production of the ducts to grow, lobules to form, and to increase the amount of stroma. In men, male hormones to increase breast tissue is prevented, but early birth lobules and ducts are still present.

Breast cancer develops in the tissue of the inner lining of the milk ducts and lobules of that. The reason is that men have the ducts and lobules to some, it is possible to grow in these cancerous tissue. Men have lower incidence of breast cancer in male breast tissue less money than a woman's breast is attributed to. The advantage of having a low volume of breast tissue that is abnormal growth of any lot or can be easily seen. Unfortunately, because breast cancer is so rare in men and the disease affects only women to consider, men often ignore early signs or property for the wrong reasons (such as infection or injury).

Cancer, in general, results when the body's cells normally growing and dying process is affected. The result of the disease, the old cells, they should, when dead, but growing new cells when their body is not required. When the disturbance is, new cells in a tissue mass that time as the tumor becomes. Abnormal growth of new cells is attributed to genetic mutations. These mutations cause still a mystery to the medical field, but the disease and (genetic) internal and external factors (environmental) between several connections were established. Risk factors associated with breast cancer in men are a few: radiation exposure, hyperestrogenism, the Klinefelter syndrome, liver cirrhosis of family disturbances, and age (aged between 60 and 70 year old male with breast cancer developed to be at an increased risk).

Considering radiation exposure, risk men in the chest with radiation to treat various forms of cancer have been more. Known as a gynecomastia - Hyperestrogenism increased production of estrogen that causes men to develop breast tissue shows up. A similar situation exists in men diagnosed with Klinefelter syndrome. This syndrome is a rare inherited condition to the normal XY chromosome in XXY men over there instead of the (X chromosome inherited from the mother, while the Y chromosome is inherited from father). Extra chromosome X increased production of estrogen that men's breasts to grow, lower body and facial hair, small testes, and the inability to produce sperm determines causes. Affected by the syndrome in men at risk of developing breast cancer over the general male population compared to 50 per cent is.

The link between breast cancer and cirrhosis of the liver may sound shocking at first. Cirrhosis of the liver caused by genetic disorders, but most commonly result from chronic alcohol abuse or chronic viral hepatitis. Role of protein binding to liver and blood through the male and female hormones regulate the transport to deliver produce. The normal functioning of the liver cirrhosis is affected by toxic substances tend to collect within its natural compromise liver function. Cirrhotic men their blood which increase the risk of developing breast tumors within the high estrogen levels.

Family disturbances affecting man's female relatives reflects a history of breast cancer. Men also genetic mutation (especially BRCA gene 2) responsible with the development of breast cancer in women can inherit. Also this gene in women with ovarian cancer and prostate cancer in men is associated.

All these facts sound scary for us control (especially genetic factors) may feel out of power, it is important to a man with early signs of breast cancer found to be familiarized. A clue that a tumor may develop a non-traumatic (usually 2.5 inches in diameter, on average) is the presence of mass bellow nipple. Undergo significant changes such as skin ulceration around the nipple, dimpling / puckering, redness of the nipple is, and even the nipple retracts. In some cases, a bloody nipple discharge can be seen or opaque.

Men can get breast cancer if effectively detected in its early stages of development and before it spread to other parts of the body can be treated. Surgical treatment options of chemotherapy, radiation therapy, and hormonal treatments vary. Treatment methods depending on the stage of cancer, patient's age and the extent of their general health and cancer (whether it is present in both breasts or only one, or if it spread to adjacent areas), which can Only patients in collaboration with the medical team decided to go by.
