BREAST CANCER POSTER

Male breast cancer is a relatively rare cancer in men that originates from the breast. As it presents a similar pathology as female breast cancer, assessment and treatment relies on experiences and guidelines that have been developed in female patients. The optimal treatment is currently not known. About one percent of breast cancer develops in males. It is estimated that about 1,910 new cases are diagnosed annually in the US and about 300 in the UK, and the number of annual deaths is about 440 in the US. There are significant differences between male and female breast cancer. Lesions are easier to find in men due to the smaller breast size, however, lack of awareness may postpone seeking medical attention. The presence of gynecomastia may mask the condition. The diagnosis is made later in men—at age 67 on average—than in women with their average at 63.[6] Lesions are less contained in men as they do not have to travel far to infiltrate skin, nipple, or muscle tissue. Thus, lesions in men tend to be more advanced. Indeed, almost half of male breast cancer patients are stage III or IV. In familial cases, male BRCA2 carriers are at risk, rather than BRCA1 carriers. With the relative infrequency of male breast cancer, randomized studies are lacking. NOTE OF THE SELLER: This product line is not inted to donate or use the ongoing campaings of support to the Breast Cancer Fight.

So we openly invite those visitors to be the tool, the media, on how this message is spread. Thank you. Paosworld Team.
