Human Breast Cancer

Although breast cancer currently reaches one in every twenty women in Brazil, it is not an exclusively female disease, although admittedly most of the audience is really hit women. Despite the low rate, the disease also manifests itself in men.

When comparing the rate of men and women affected by breast cancer, the first are at an advantage, occurring in every man in comparison with each one hundred women. Despite the low frequency - and therefore the low level of interest from the scientific community to study and explore this kind of manifestation in nature - it is increasingly easy to find the testimony of a man who has been affected by this disease. His low voice in the market should be purely for the great prejudice of the community with the disease.

Breast cancer will generally reach the man with older age, as the case may happen. In general a range greater than sixty years, the man knows the realization of self-examination by touch, which makes tumor control while still being benign, since most patients will only seek help - when they seek - when the tumor is already in advanced development and the only possible solutions are surgery and radiotherapy.

Once they overcome the prejudice against himself, man must still face the prejudice from friends and society. If we all could be conscious, perhaps many men could look better and prevent the development of breast cancer themselves.
