What Patients Say About Cancer Treatment at New Hope
What is Male Breast Cancer?
Beating a progressive disease starts with being armed with essential information.
Even though men typically do not carry more fatty tissue in their breasts like women, they still have a small amount of breast tissue. The "breasts" of adult men are similar to the breasts of a young girl before puberty. In girls, this tissue grows and develops. In men, however, it does not. Regardless, having breast tissue means men can develop the same breast cancers that women do.
Breast cancer in men often occurs between the ages of 60 and 70. The chance for remission is high if a man is diagnosed with breast cancer at an early stage.
Male Breast Cancers We Treat at New Hope Unlimited
The most common types of breast cancer in men are:
Ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS)
DCIS is the earliest form of male breast cancer. In this disease, cancer cells remain in the ducts of the breast and not in any other breast tissue.
Invasive breast cancer
The majority of male breast cancers are invasive. “Invasive” means the cancer cells have metastasized beyond the lining of the ducts and into surrounding breast tissue.
New Hope Unlimited also offers treatment for more rare types of male breast cancer, including inflammatory breast cancer, tubular breast cancer, medullary breast cancer, and malignant phyllodes tumor.
Breast Cancer Symptoms in Men
Signs of male breast cancer may include one or more of the following:
- A painless lump
- Thickening of the breast tissue
- Any changes to the skin of the breast, such as redness, dimpling, or scaling
- Any changes to the nipple, such as turning inward
- Discharge from the nipple
If you have signs and symptoms of male breast cancer, consult a doctor immediately.

2. What should I know about breast cancer survival rates in men?
According to the American Cancer Society (ACS), the five-year relative survival rates for male breast cancers are:
- 96% for localized tumors

Keep in mind that survival rates are estimates based on previous outcomes of people with the same cancer. The ACS adds that men with breast cancer may have a better outlook than these statistics show.
