Male breast cancer is a type of cancer that forms in the breast tissue of men.

Symptoms associated with male breast cancer include thickening lump in your tissue and changes in the skin such as dimpling, puckering, or scaling. Additionally, there are frequent instances of nipple discharge. Cancer usually develops when cells associated with male breasts develop more rapidly than usual healthy cells. The accumulating cells develop into a tumor that spreads into other parts of the body. This tumor further results in various different kinds of breast cancers that develop in males, including ductal carcinoma, lobular carcinoma, and inflammatory breast cancer. Additionally, inherited genes and mutations in gene BRCA2 may put them at a higher risk of developing breast cancer. Few other risk factors associated with breast cancer include older age, estrogen exposure, and Klinefelter’s syndrome. Diagnosis of the tumor is conducted through estrogen & progesterone receptor test. Additionally, HER2 test is conducted to establish volume of HER2 genes associated with the tumor. Furthermore, if the tumor is successfully diagnosed, treatment includes surgery, which includes breast-conserving surgery and chemotherapy. Further, hormone therapy is conducted to block the action of cancerous cells. Hormone therapy includes administration of tamoxifen to patients who suffer from estrogen receptor-positive breast cancer and metastatic breast cancer. Treatment further includes administering advanced therapeutic medications in a targeted therapy. It makes use of monoclonal antibodies, including trastuzumab, pertuzumba, and ado-trastuzumab.
COVID-19 Impact Analysis
- Pharmaceutical and biotech companies together with governments around the globe are working to address the COVID-19 outbreak, from supporting the development of vaccines to planning for medicine supply chain challenges.
