here are a few questions and answrs which are very interesting


Q: What is the ratio between men and women for survival from breast cancer?


It is said less in men due to poor prognosis.





Q: Why don't men know that they have breast cancer?


Because the majority of men don't know they can get it so ignore the changes or warning signs that would enable them to know. Also most females don't realise that men can get breast cancer.





Q: What percentage of men are diagnosed with breast cancer?


At time of writing (Oct 2005), 1 in 100 or 1%, compared with 1 in 14 women.





Q: Most breast cancer occurs in males aged between the ages of 60 and 70?


Yes. From the little information that does exist, it appears this is the case, but don't let that make you complacent, as Kym (whose story is here in our website) was 45 years old, Troy Smith a Cross Country Coach in Birmingham was 33 years old and Jason Foy from the UK was only 29 years old and sadly died at 33 years in 2004.

with regards to anti antiperspirant Aluminum, a common ingredient added to antiperspirants to stop skin sweating, may be linked to breast cancer, a study by British scientists found.
Reply:yes men can although it is rarer in men but there is no evidence that antiperspirant causes cancer
Reply:Yes men can get breast cancer. There is no proof that anti-perspirants cause cancer. No one knows what causes cancer.
Reply:Yes John they can but under arm stuff dont cause it ...
Reply:yes men can defiantly have breast cancer, its just not known because they advertise women breast cancer and women are most likely to have it... There has been tons of warnings circulated through email and the internet that the use of deodorants and antiperspirants can cause breast cancer. The suggestion is that a chemical is absorbed through the skin through a shaving nick or cut, and causes breast cancer.





According to the National Cancer Institute, "researchers at the National Cancer Institute (NCI) are not aware of any conclusive evidence linking the use of underarm antiperspirants or deodorants and the subsequent development of breast cancer. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration, which regulates food, cosmetics, medicines, and medical devices, also does not have any evidence or research data that ingredients in underarm antiperspirants or deodorants cause cancer." so you can use it! you'll be fine =]











hope this helps! =[ happy holidays! and stay stank free lol!
Reply:Yes, men can get breast cancer but it is rare and usually occurs in older men (those over 60 or so). Also, there is absolutely no scientific evidence to suggest that anti-perspirant causes cancer. That's a myth but there is zero evidence to support that claim.
Reply:Yes. Absolutely.





Cancer can occur anywhere in the body, to anyone regardless of gender, at any age. That's what makes the big C so fearsome. And, there are no symptoms initially and there is no one environmental factor can be pin pointed.





In men the incidence is lot lower than women though. Don't have any particular reason however the scientific community says that testosterone in males being at a higher level may be the reason for lower incidence.
Reply:I heard on tv they can
Reply:Yes, men CAN get breast cancer. I have heard of cases where men did in fact contract it, and needed to undergo surgery and things just as women do.





As for anti perspirant, I'm not quite sure if it causes cancer, although they say nearly everything nowadays does cause cancer. I know a lot of the ingredients in deodorant aren't good for you, which is why a lot of people opt to NOT use deodorant, but to use natural methods.





I hope I provided some type of insight...
