breast cancer screening and diagnosis.

Get accurate and early detection of breast cancer

Male breast cancer is a rare cancer that forms in the breast tissue of men. Though breast cancer is most commonly thought of as a disease that affects women, breast cancer does occur in men. Mostly in older men but can occur at a younger age. Men are also born with a small amount of breast tissue. Breast tissue consists of milk-producing glands (most men do not have much of the milk producing glands and therefore most cancers in men develop within the ductal tissue of the breast) and fat.

Men diagnosed with male breast cancer at an early stage have a good chance for a cure.
