Contrary to common misconception men are also at risk of developing breast cancer. In comparison to breast cancer in women the risk of a man contracting breast cancer is rare, with around 300 cases diagnosed in the UK per year.

The most common symptom in male breast cancer is a lump under the nipple which is generally painless. Other common symptoms mirror those associated with female breast cancer. If you have any concerns or notice a lump please consult your doctor straight away.
