Dr. Lecturer Member İsmail Özsan stated that cancer is often detected in advanced stages and suggested that men, like women, do a manual breast check once a month. Breast cancer is thought to be a disease specific to women; Explaining that, however, approximately one percent of all breast cancers are also seen in men, Özsan said, "Since the disease is recognized late, the diagnosis is made later than in women. General Surgery Specialist Dr. Lecturer İsmail Özsan noted that the most common symptom of cancer is a mass in the breast tissue and said, "In men, There is a little breast tissue. This breast tissue is vulnerable to breast diseases, just like in women. Breast cancer occurs in 1 percent of men. In men, as in women, symptoms include breast lumps, nipple discharge, nipple cracks, deformities and palpable masses. Diagnosis is easy because there is little breast tissue. However, it spreads quickly. It is generally understood at an advanced stage. Males are more aggressive than females. Breast cancer can be more fatal in men," he said.
General Surgery Specialist Dr. Lecturer İsmail Özsan said, "In men, over the age of 40 increases the risk factor. Manual examination is very important for men. It is thought that only women should do it, but men should know and apply manual breast control. Men should check their breasts after shaving in front of the mirror once a month. They should see if there is a mass that can be felt like women do. "Not every mass is negative, but doctors should make the distinction," he said. Due to the treatment, all breast tissue is removed. Lymph nodes and fat tissue under the arm are cleaned. In some cases, the muscles under the breast may need to be removed. The disease progresses rapidly due to the lack of tissue under the breast. Men who smoke are in the risk group. People with a family history of male breast cancer are at risk. Breast enlargement in men can be mistaken for breast cancer. However, this disease is not cancer. The drugs used, genetic structure and testicular tumors may cause breast enlargement in men. What could cause it? "In case of doubt, a physician should be consulted," he said.
