Diagnosis

What does a diagnosis of breast cancer mean for men?

Breast cancer in men can be treated successfully. The majority of men diagnosed and treated for early breast cancer will not die from the disease. The prognosis for men with breast cancer is similar to that for women at the same age and stage of the cancer. The stage of the cancer describes the size of the tumour and extent of spread.

Two pdf resources about breast cancer in men are available for download:
