Men can also develop breast cancer, but women are more likely to do so. Many people are unaware that males may have breast cancer and that they have breast tissue as well. Any cell in the body has the potential to develop into cancer and spread to other parts.

Breast cells start to proliferate uncontrollably with the onset of breast cancer. These cells typically develop into tumours, which are frequently palpable lumps or visible on x-rays. If the Tumor's cells have the ability to metastasise to other parts of the body or to neighbouring tissues, the tumour is considered malignant (cancer).

Symptoms

Male breast cancer symptoms and signs can include:

• Changes to the skin covering your breast, such as dimpling, puckering, redness, or scaling • Changes to your nipples, such as redness or scaling, or a nipple that starts to curve inward

• Bleed from your nipple

Male breast tissue:

Young boys and girls have a small amount of breast tissue, consisting of a few ducts around the nipple and areola, until puberty (often around age 9 or 10). (the area around the nipple). When a girl reaches puberty, her ovaries produce female hormones that cause her breast ducts to expand and develop lobules at their ends. Boys and men often have low levels of female hormones even after puberty, and breast tissue doesn't expand much. The breast tissue of men possesses ducts, but there aren't many, if any, lobules.

Spread of breast cancer:

When cancer cells enter the blood or lymphatic system and are transported to other parts of the body, breast cancer can spread.

The lymph system is a network of lymphatic vessels that are distributed all over the body. The lymph vessels connect lymph nodes and transport lymph fluid. Immune system cells are gathered in the form of tiny, bean-shaped lymph nodes. Similar to tiny veins, lymphatic vessels transport lymph, a clear fluid, away from the breast instead of blood. Immune system cells, tissue fluid, and waste materials are all found in the lymph. Breast cancer cells have the ability to travel through lymphatic channels and develop in lymph nodes. The majority of the breast's lymphatic vessels discharge into:

The likelihood that breast cancer will be identified in other organs increases with the number of lymph nodes that have breast cancer cells. This means that discovering cancer in one or more lymph nodes frequently has an impact on your treatment strategy. To determine whether cancer has spread, one or more lymph nodes will typically need to be surgically removed.

However, not all men with cancer cells in their lymph nodes develop metastases to other organs, and some men can acquire metastases despite not having cancer cells in their lymph nodes at the time.

Non-cancerous breast tumours:

The term "benign breast tumour" refers to a variety of aberrant lumps or masses of tissue, including papillomas and fibroadenomas. Benign tumours are not life-threatening and do not spread outside the breast. While exceedingly uncommon in men, benign breast tumours are prevalent in women.

Men's Breast Cancer Types
Ductal carcinoma in situ, invasive ductal carcinoma, and invasive lobular carcinoma are the three most prevalent kinds of breast cancer.

The majority of breast malignancies are carcinomas. In actuality, adenocarcinoma, a kind of carcinoma that originates in cells that produce glands, is frequently the cause of breast cancer (glandular tissue). Breast adenocarcinomas begin in the lobules or the milk ducts (milk-producing glands).

Sarcomas, phyllodes, Paget's disease, and angiosarcomas, which begin in the cells of the muscle, fat, or connective tissue, are some other, less prevalent kinds of breast cancer.

• A single breast tumour occasionally combines several distinct kinds. Additionally, the cancer cells may not even develop into a lump or tumour in some extremely rare kinds of breast cancer.

• The pathologist will determine if the disease has spread to the nearby tissues via a biopsy to determine the exact type of breast cancer. Depending on how advanced the cancer is, the name of the breast cancer subtype will change.

• Breast cancers that are in situ have not spread.

• Cancers that have spread or infiltrated into the breast tissue around them.

The words listed above can be used to define these common types of breast cancer in more detail.

In situ ductal carcinoma:

Pre-invasive or non-invasive breast cancer is referred to as ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS; also known as intraductal carcinoma). Cells that lined the ducts have transformed in DCIS (also known as intraductal carcinoma), giving them the appearance of cancer cells. DCIS and invasive cancer differ in that the cells have not infiltrated (spread) through the duct walls into the breast tissue surrounding them (or spread outside the breast).

Because some cases of DCIS can progress to become invasive tumours, it is regarded as a pre-cancer. However, there is currently no reliable method for determining which cases will progress to invasive malignancies and which ones won't. About 1 in 10 occurrences of breast cancer in men have DCIS. Surgery can almost always cure it.

Lobular neoplasia is another name for lobular carcinoma in situ (LCIS), which is a similar condition. In LCIS, cancer-like cells are developing in the lobules of the breast's milk glands, but they haven't broken through the lobules' walls. Although LCIS is associated with a higher chance of developing invasive cancer in both breasts, it is not a true pre-invasive cancer because, if untreated, it does not progress to that stage. Men hardly ever, if ever, experience LCIS.

invasive or infiltrating lobular carcinoma:

The milk-producing glands are the initial site of invasive lobular carcinoma (ILC) (lobules). It has the same potential for breast and body spread as IDC. ILC, which makes up just approximately 2% of male breast cancers, is extremely uncommon in men. This is due to the fact that men often do not have a lot of lobular (glandular) breast tissue.

Nipple illness caused by Paget:

Beginning in the breast ducts, this kind of breast cancer eventually progresses to the nipple. It might also infect the areola (the dark circle around the nipple). The nipple's skin typically has regions of crusting, scaling, and redness along with itching, leaking, burning, or bleeding. The breast could possibly have a hidden lump.

Paget disease may be connected to infiltrating ductal carcinoma or DCIS. It is uncommon, accounting for 1% to 3% of breast cancers in women and a greater rate (5%) in men.

Breast cancer that is inflammatory:

Breast cancer that is inflammatory is aggressive yet uncommon. Instead of creating a lump, it makes the breast bloated, red, heated, and sensitive. It could be misinterpreted as a breast infection. In guys, this is exceedingly uncommon. For further details, go to Inflammatory Breast Cancer.
