Breast cancer is, of course, most commonly diagnosed in women, but very few men know that men can also develop this disease. Everyone — adults and adolescents alike— has breast tissue, even though men’s breasts are less prominent. Breast cancer is virtually unheard of in adolescents.

Less than 1% of all breast cancer cases occur in men.
