When diagnosed with breast cancer at age 24, Bret Miller made a promise to his surgeon: no man would ever feel alone upon hearing the words, “You have breast cancer.” Driven by this promise, Bret founded The Male Breast Cancer Coalition in 2014. Male Breast Cancer Happens is a not-for-profit patient advocacy organization dedicated to uniting people to educate the world about male breast cancer. Our mission is to build awareness through the wisdom and experiences of survivors. Our survivors emphasize that every individual must be their own best advocate for their bodies. Our mission remains an uphill battle until we educate everyone, including the medical community, about the need for more testing and clinical trials focusing on men with breast cancer. We want people to be informed. Breast cancer does not discriminate, and we want everyone to know: Men Have Breasts Too. The foundation was founded by Bret and his parents. https://malebreastcancerhappens.org/portfolio/bret-miller/

Unveiling the Silent TruthMale Breast Cancer: Unveiling the Silent TruthDid you know that men can also get breast cancer? Yes, it's rare but real. In the shadows, where discussions rarely venture, there lives a condition known as male breast cancer. This year, about 2,710 men in the United States will embark on a battle against this disease, a number that's been quietly growing by 26% since the 1980s. Here's what we know: the cancer journey starts subtly. A lump or swelling beneath the nipple is its cryptic message, but there might also be other signs like pain or even nipple discharge. However, the paths to discovering and treating male breast cancer are somewhat paved by the learnings from women's experiences with the disease.But the silence and lack of awareness surrounding male breast cancer are the unseen barriers. Often, it quietly grows, unnoticed, until it reaches a stage that's hard to ignore. And because it's so rare, the research isn't as robust, leaving us with pages yet to be filled in this chapter of medical science.Men come with their own set of unique risk factors such as genetics and specific life experiences or medical histories like undescended testes or exposure to chest radiation. Knowing these can be the light that guides through the fog of uncertainty, helping with early detection and understanding of the condition.In terms of treatment, it's like reading from a similar book as female breast cancer. Surgery, radiation, and hormone therapy are some of the familiar characters in the story, each playing a role to curb the spread and helping in the healing process. Survival, though variable, carries stories of hope and triumph, underlined by the spirit of resilience.So, let's broaden the horizons of our understanding, break the silence, and bring to light the unspoken tales of male breast cancer. Because in the heart of awareness, there blooms a flower of hope and early detection, making the journey a little less daunting and filled with supportive footprints.
Patricia Washburn, a compassionate and dedicated individual, is best known for her remarkable journey as a caregiver for her beloved husband during his battle with breast cancer. With unwavering support and care, Patricia stood by her husband's side throughout his courageous fight against this rarely discussed form of cancer.Tragically, Patricia's husband eventually passed away, leaving a void in her life. However, in her determination to honor his memory and raise awareness of male breast cancer, Patricia transformed her late husband's vehicle into a powerful moving billboard. This unique tribute not only pays homage to her husband's strength and resilience but also serves as a means to educate and inform others about the lesser-known aspects of breast cancer in men.Patricia's heartfelt dedication to this cause has touched the lives of many and continues to be an enduring testament to the power of love, remembrance, and commitment to making a difference in the world.Connect with Patricia on:Virtual Support Group: Home | AnCanEmail: Men_2@yahoo.comJoin the conversation by sending comments or questions to hello@stressblueprint.com. 1.

In this episode of SurgOnc Today®, Chantal Reyna MD, Medical Director of Breast and Chief of Breast Surgery in the Upland, PA is joined by Jennifer Plichta MD, Associate Professor of Surgery at Duke University in Durham, NC and Chandler Cortina MD, Assistant Professor of Surgery and Chief of the Surgical Oncology Breast & Endocrine Service at the Medical College of Wisconsin at Medical College of Wisconsin in Milwaukee, WI. With the treatment of female breast cancer continuously evolving, the treatment of male breast cancer can be a challenge due to its rarity. This episode focuses on the current incidence, evaluation, and management of male breast cancer.
PRESS RELEASE - A new research paper was published in Oncotarget's Volume 14 on February 7, 2023, entitled, “The ‘extreme phenotype approach' applied to male breast cancer allows the identification of rare variants of ATR as potential breast cancer susceptibility alleles.” In oncogenetics, some patients could be considered as “extreme phenotypes”, such as those with very early onset presentation or multiple primary malignancies, unusually high numbers of cancers of the same spectrum or rare cancer types in the same parental branch. For these cases, a genetic predisposition is very likely, but classical candidate gene panel analyses often, and frustratingly, remains negative. In this new study, researchers Martin Chevarin, Diana Alcantara, Juliette Albuisson, Marie-Agnès Collonge-Rame, Céline Populaire, Zohair Selmani, Amandine Baurand, Caroline Sawka, Geoffrey Bertolone, Patrick Callier, Yannis Duffourd, Philippe Jonveaux, Yves-Jean Bignon, Isabelle Coupier, François Cornelis, Christophe Cordier, Monique Mozelle-Nivoix, Jean-Baptiste Rivière, Paul Kuentz, Christel Thauvin, Romain Boidot, François Ghiringhelli, Marc O'Driscoll, Laurence Faivre, and Sophie Nambot from Université de Bourgogne, CHU Dijon Bourgogne, CHU Besançon, University of Sussex, Centre Georges François Leclerc, Université de Bourgogne-Franche Comté, Hôpitaux de Brabois, Centre Jean Perrin, ICM Val d'Aurel, Université Bordeaux, CHU de Bordeaux, CHRU de Strasbourg, and CHU-Reims used a combination of exome sequencing (ES), direct sequencing of Ataxia Telangiectasia and RAD3-related (ATR) in a replication cohort and prospective screening, followed by functional investigations, to report the identification of new candidate variants of ATR as predisposing to breast cancer (BC), including male breast cancer (MBC). “In the framework of the EX2TRICAN project, exploring unresolved extreme cancer phenotypes, we applied exome sequencing on rare familial cases with male breast cancer, identifying a novel pathogenic variant of ATR (p.Leu1808*).” ATR has already been suspected as being a predisposing gene to breast cancer in women. The researchers next identified 3 additional ATR variants in a cohort of both male and female with early onset and familial breast cancers (c.7762-2A>C; c.2078+1G>A; c.1A>G). Further molecular and cellular investigations showed impacts on transcripts for variants affecting splicing sites and reduction of ATR expression and phosphorylation of the ATR substrate CHEK1. This work further demonstrates the interest of an extended genetic analysis such as exome sequencing to identify very rare variants that can play a role in cancer predisposition in extreme phenotype cancer cases unexplained by classical cancer gene panels testing. “In conclusion, this work highlights the possible implication of ATR variants in male and female BC predisposition and shows the importance of extended genetic analysis in unsolved extreme phenotype cancer cases to identify rare alleles of biologically relevant candidate genes of cancer predisposition.” DOI: https://doi.org/10.18632/oncotarget.28358 Correspondence to: Sophie Nambot - sophie.nambot@chu-dijon.fr Keywords: male breast cancer, genetic predisposition to cancer, exome sequencing, ATR, extreme phenotype

Jim and Wendy Coupland shared Jim's battle with breast cancer in this week's episode. While many people may typically think of breast cancer as something women suffer from, Jim's story is proof that breast cancer can affect everyone. Episode At A Glance: This week on The SavvyCast, Jim and Wendy Coupland joined me to share Jim's breast cancer story. Their daughter, Finlay Coupland, is the social media manager & podcast editor for Family Savvy. After I heard about their experience through Finlay, I knew the Couplands' story needed to be shared! Jim's Battle With Breast Cancer: After noticing a spot on the right side of his chest, Jim mentioned it to his doctor. Since it was not bothering him, Jim's doctor said it was probably just a cyst and was not concerning unless it began to bother him or get bigger. However, over the course of three years, Jim's doctor noticed the spot changing and decided to have it surgically removed, still thinking it was just a cyst. That being said, no one expected the pathologist to call back saying that Jim had breast cancer. After hearing this, Jim and Wendy went to UAB where they found out that Jim had Stage 2 breast cancer. Jim had a lumpectomy and then began his 20 rounds of radiation treatment. Thankfully, Jim's treatments worked and he is now cancer-free. Today he lives a full, vibrant life and is on medication to help prevent the cancer from returning. Questions We Answered In This Podcast: How did Jim discover he had breast cancer? What are the different stages of cancer? Is there a difference between a mastectomy for men and for women? Did Jim experience any side effects during his radiation treatment? What was it like for Wendy to walk through this process as a wife and mom? How did Jim get breast cancer? I hope you enjoyed this episode! As always, if you have time to rate, review and subscribe to The SavvyCast on iTunes, it would be SO appreciated!!! Blessings to you!!!

Rod shared his experience as a male breast cancer patient and how that experience led him to become an advocate and create a resource site to serve the needs of the male breast cancer community. You can find Rod on Twitter or at his website http://malebc.org/.Please follow the podcast if you are enjoying the show. Would also be awesome if you can leave an honest rating and review so I know if I am serving the interests and needs of you listeners out there.Have topic suggestions or feedback about the show? Email info@talkaboutcancerpodcast.com or come say hi on Instagram, Facebook, Twitter, or Linkedin!Thank you for listening!++++++++++++My reflections on the episode:I'm super appreciative of Rod coming on the show to share his experience as a male breast cancer survivor and advocate. I learned so much - from how the lack of awareness about male breast cancer results in more delayed and therefore more dire diagnosis, to the differences in how men seek support online. It was also very interesting to hear about the advocacy work he has been doing with the “pink” cancer organizations. I was glad to hear that Rod did feel supported by women in online forums and that he felt well taken care of by the female experts on his medical team. Since men account for such a small percentage of the newly diagnosed population each year, I expected Rod to run into more problems, and was slightly surprised to hear otherwise. I feel like I've heard more problems for women breast cancer survivors than in his experience. I don't know if Rod was being polite or if that was really the case, but my guess is that women as a marginalized group are able to better empathize with the men when the dynamic is reversed. That's definitely my bias as a woman but I don't think my hypothesis is too far-fetched.
Carrie and Chris chat with Laurie Sullivan who is passionate about raising MALE BREAST CANCER awareness. Why? Because she lost her Father AND Grandfather to MALE breast cancer. Laurie's entire family, on her Dad's side, has had breast cancer or is BRCA positive. Can you imagine multiple people in your family being affected by breast cancer? Hear a little of Laurie's story and her frustration with the media about only highlighting females affected by breast cancer.

On this episode of The Dismantling You Podcast, I'm talking with Ron Rapaport, male breast cancer survivor and member of the Male Breast Cancer Coalition, a group dedicated to the advancement of male breast cancer awareness, testing and treatment. Why do we not hear more about male breast cancer in the news, in medical journals and even within the breast cancer movement itself?! His life's goal and mission now is to spread the word to everyone, men & women, young & old, that breast cancer does not discriminate, it can happen to anyone at any age and to MEN too! Ron Rapaport was a 72-year-old retired pharmacist living the dream on the Northeast coast of Florida. When, for a few months prior to December 2018 he noticed that his left breast nipple was retracting. He really did not pay it much attention…until his online research led him to make a doctor's appointment that would forever change his life and turn Ron from an average person into one of the many heroes in the world You can contact Ron Rapaport here: Ron's Website https://itsawrapwithrap.com Website http://www.malebreastcancercoalition.org Twitter @mbcc_mhbt Facebook male breast cancer coalition LinkedIn male breast cancer coalition Email Questions malebreastcancerquestion@gmail..com Instagram @male breast cancer coalition Ron may be heard on his podcast It's A Wrap With Rap - on all major platforms Connect with Lisa Pineda here: Website www.lisapinedayoga.com TEDx Talks: How Yoga Helped Me to Let Go & How Meditation Can Unlock Your True Potential --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/lisa-pineda/support

Episode summary:On this episode of the WE Have Cancer Podcast, John Falk joins Lee to discuss his journey with male breast cancer. John shares his experience from first being diagnosed through his journey to beat cancer twice. John is open and transparent about his experience as a way to educate, advocate, and change the perception of male breast cancer. Learn all about John’s incredible journey and how he's looking to improve male breast cancer awareness among the population. Guest biographyJohn Falk was diagnosed with breast cancer not once, but twice. After finding a lump in his chest, he decided to get checked out. He was diagnosed with breast cancer in 2014, and then again in 2016. He advocates and brings awareness to men with breast cancer. Table of contents:Introduction In 2013, John noticed that his left breast had swelled up. After going to his primary care doctor, he was sent to a surgeon who specializes in breast cancer. Getting more tests, like a mammogram and biopsy, the results came back negative. However, in 2014, they came back positive. Being a man with a female-dominated illness John talks about his experience in getting tested and going through the medical processes of being diagnosed with breast cancer and how it’s heavily focused on women. However, he didn’t care and found that the doctors were very empathetic to his situation. A quick recovery When John got the news that he had cancer, he wasn’t afraid. At the time, it was stage 0. Doctors were able to go in and remove it all. He never got any other treatment. After the surgery, he resumed working like normal. Being transparent about his illness Being very transparent and open, John didn’t want people to worry about him. This allowed him to share his story openly and help get through his situation with humor and friends. At work, when he was back from his treatment, a lot of humor helped him stay positive in the workplace. Diagnosed with male breast cancer . . . Again Two years later, in 2016, the lump came back in his breast. John noticed it right away, and they went back in to do surgery to remove it. However, this time around it was invasive. They caught it early enough that other parts of his body weren’t attacked, but he did end up getting 30 radiation treatments. State of John’s health today Today, John continues to take Tamoxifen and monitor his health carefully. His medication causes him few side effects, but other than that he remains in good health. John knows that his battle with cancer wasn’t nearly as difficult or hard as others. It wasn’t until the second time around with his battle that he decided to take action. Male breast cancer awareness John realized how lucky he was to not only face and beat breast cancer once but twice. He noticed that there wasn’t a lot of talk or attention towards the men that struggle with it. John wanted to tell others his story, share his experience, and educate the public. He wanted to be an agent of change. From there, he does interviews, goes on TV, and does other things to bring awareness towards breast cancer in men. Finding support John found most of his support through his family and friends, but that wasn’t the only place. He discovered Facebook groups that shared experiences like his and the Male Breast Cancer Coalition. This inspired him to use his Facebook page to advocate his story, but also gain support through his second diagnosis. The change John wishes he saw John wants to see more recognition towards men that have breast cancer. Although a small percentage in comparison, male breast cancer absolutely exists. He wishes that some women's organizations were more inclusive to men and didn’t just feature women all the time. Being aware of your own body When John first felt the lump on his chest, he knew that it wasn’t normal. He trusted his instinct and his body and made sure he got the help he needed. John wants everyone to advocate for themselves and know what is and what...
In this episode of the Dudes n Beer podcast host Christopher Jordan welcomes Bret Miller, founder of the Male Breast Cancer Coalition as well as Ron Rapaport, male breast cancer survivor and member of the Male Breast Cancer Coalition, a group dedicated to the advancement of male breast cancer awareness, testing and treatment. Why do we not hear more about male breast cancer in the news, in medical journals and even within the breast cancer movement itself?! At the age of seventeen Bret found a lump in his left breast, the year was 2003. He told Doctors “Don't worry they said.” “These things happen, we will keep an eye on it.” Until one day, many years later, during an exam he asked specifically for the doctor to look at the lump. The doctor immediately suggested he go for a sonogram, but he didn't think there was anything to be concerned about. The doctor who read the sonogram suggested Bret also have a mammogram. On April 27th, 2010 Bret's lump was removed and his life's goal and mission now is to spread the word to everyone, men & women, young & old, that breast cancer does not discriminate, it can happen to anyone at any age and to MEN too! Ron Rapaport was a 72-year-old retired pharmacist living the dream on the Northeast coast of Florida. When, for a few months prior to December 2018 he noticed that his left breast nipple was retracting. He really did not pay it much attention…until his online research led him to make a doctor's appointment that would forever change his life and turn Ron from an average person into one of the many heroes in the world who share the moniker survivor.

Patrick I. Borgen, MD, discusses male breast cancer in further detail, how he approaches treatment in his male patients with the disease, and what can be done to remove the stigma that men often feel with a breast cancer diagnosis.
American entrepreneur Jim Rohn once said, "Take care of your body; it's the only place you have to live." In this episode, we talk about a different type of safety than we usually do—and that safety revolves around personal health and the dangers of a less-talked-about cancer: male breast cancer. Several years ago, Danny Raines was lucky to discover a lump in his breast in time to get the treatment he needed to get rid of his cancer. He shares his cancer survivor story with us in this episode and urges all listeners to be aware of and check for male breast cancer. If you want to learn more about male breast cancer, visit the American Cancer Society at www.cancer.org. Additionally, if you'd like to reach out to Danny directly, you can do so at rainesafety@gmail.com or by phone at (770) 354-7360. The Voice of Experience with Danny Raines podcast is produced by the same team that publishes Incident Prevention magazine.

In this episode, we tackle a heated debate. Is it science? Marketing? Race or culture? Carrie and Chris are joined by 3 widows who lost their husbands to breast cancer, as well as Dr. Gary Johnson, to offer his perspective. During a recent call hosted by the Male Breast Cancer Coalition, in which Knowles was a guest speaker, he expressed his strong opinion that male breast cancer should be referred to as male CHEST cancer. He claimed that this marketing angle was best to ease the embarrassment of diagnosis, especially in the Black community. An intense discussion ensued and is continued in this podcast with these MBCC members and male breast cancer advocates.#hwcarepodcast #breastnotchest #menhavebreaststoo #menshealth #sciencenotmarketing #malebreastcancercoalition #breastcancer

Tammey takes a deep dive into the misunderstood, and in some cases, dismissed world of male breast cancer with advocates Bret Miller, and Cheri Ambrose.In 2003, Bret was a typical 17-year old guy. A senior in high school, on the football team, working at the pool and ice rink, when he noticed a lump in his breast. Without medical insurance at the time, he mentioned it to his doctor at a sports physical, but the doctor was unconcerned. Seven years later, in 2010, Bret asked a doctor again, this time his doctor sent him for a sonogram and Bret found out he had breast cancer.In 2009 Cheri had a close male friend who was battling breast cancer. When she learned that her good friend was embarrassed and horrified to have what he called a "woman's disease," she made it her personal mission to raise male breast cancer awareness nationwide. In 2013 Cheri and Bret founded the Male Breast Cancer Coalition.These fearless advocates give us an intimate look at everything from the individual breast cancer experience from the diagnosed male’s perspective to state and national legislation regarding gender equity in a predominantly female-driven, and focused, field of medicine and treatment.Listen in as they share the wisdom and experience of both advocate and patient, we discuss harmful stereotypes, personal fears, and medical misinformation as it pertains to male breast cancer. Where positive and lasting change has been made for not only the men diagnosed but also in preemptive knowledge for self-diagnostics, and as they share their passion for service as they passionately continue their advocacy work.Male Breast Cancer Coalition:Website: https://malebreastcancercoalition.orgFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/MaleBreastCancerCoalitionTwitter: https://twitter.com/MBCC_MHBTYour Killer Life:Website: https://www.yourkillerlife.comInstagram | Facebook | Twitter | Pinterest: @yourkillerlifeLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/your-killer-life/Subscribe to the Your Killer Life eMail Newsletter: https://sendfox.com/yourkillerlife##Sponsor the Show:For sponsorship information: https://www.yourkillerlife.com/sponsorship-opportunitiesOr show some love and buy us a cup of coffee: https://www.buymeacoffee.com/yourkillerlifeThis podcast is professionally edited by Roth MediaThis Episode Sponsored by:A special thank you to our sponsor and previous guest, Suzanna Davis with RakasaFit™.

Breast cancer is the commonest cancer that affects women. However, can it affect men too?The answer to this question is, yes it can!The incidence of male breast cancer is relatively low, however, it does exist. This is not something men really think about as breast cancer has been so strongly associated as a disease that mainly affects women.Because the incidence is low, we don't talk about it very much. Awareness surrounding this topic is poor which actually means that men don't seek help as readily as women would if they experience breast symptoms.This may be one of the reasons why men present with larger cancers and in a more advanced stage compared to women.So, if you want to learn something new and find out more about male breast cancer, then check out this episode.You can find the show notes at:https://mybreastmyhealth.com/episode19Happy listening!

An interview with Dr. Sharon Giordano from MD Anderson Cancer Center and Dr. Michael Hassett from Dana-Farber Cancer Institute on "Management of Male Breast Cancer: ASCO Guideline". This guideline provides recommendations concerning the management of male breast cancer; addressing five main areas where treatment for men differs from the approach used for women with breast cancer: adjuvant endocrine therapy, endocrine therapy for advanced/metastatic cancer, adverse effects of endocrine therapy, germline genetic testing, and survivorship. Read the full guideline at www.asco.org/breast-cancer-guidelines.
Dr. Zehr is the scientific editor for the American Society of Radiologic Technologists, which produces two peer-reviewed journals, Radiologic Technology and Radiation Therapist. Dr. Zehr holds a doctorate in biomedical science with focuses in cardiovascular physiology and fatty acid metabolism. In this episode, Therese Markow and Dr. Kayla Zehr revisit male breast cancer, because recent investigations report that it is on the rise. This is not a disease that only affects women. Men can and do get breast cancer, and they are getting it more frequently: the rate has been increasing, 26% in the last three decades. They discuss the similarities in breast cancer between men and women, as well as the increased risk for transgendered individuals. Men often ignore symptoms or feel stigmatized by breast disease and thus delay seeking medical examinations. Thus, they are often diagnosed at a more advanced stage of the disease. Key Takeaways: Men, as in women, with a 1st degree relative with breast or ovarian cancer have a 2- to 3-fold increased risk of developing breast cancer themselves. Unfortunately, probably through lack of awareness or fear of stigmatization, men tend to be diagnosed when their breast cancer is at a more advanced stage and, thus, their treatment outcomes are not as successful as for women. Men should engage in the same self-examination processes as women and, if diagnosed, should be helped to not feel isolated. "There were men with breast cancer who reported feeling isolated from some members of their family, some members of their friends and coworkers, because when they told people they have breast cancer, these individuals didn't know how to react or how to support them." — Dr. Kayla Zehr Connect with Dr. Kayla Zehr: Article: Diagnosis and Treatment of Breast Cancer in Men.

Accounting for one percent of total diagnoses, men are often diagnosed at later stages with poor prognoses. In addition, men often feel out of place in the sea of pink. Ron is on a mission to change the way males are perceived and included in the breast cancer conversation. Here at TCSN, we are proponents of inclusivity and Ron does an excellent job of listing what needs to be changed in the community. Thanks, Ron for your tireless efforts! You can find him on Facebook.

Cancer ABCs From Surviving To Thriving - How to Thrive with Cancer
Joel Nowak from Cancer ABCs interviews Michael Singer, a male breast cancer thriver. Michael, diagnosed at age 50, shares his journey and his advocacy as a man with breast cancer. Three years before learning that he had breast cancer his sister, with whom he lived, was diagnosed with metastatic breast cancer. She succumbed to the disease one year after receiving the diagnosis. So, when Michael learned about his diagnosis, he assumed that he too would live for only one year.Like many other men, Michael did not know that men get breast cancer, so when his doctor told him that he had breast cancer, he thought that the doctor was mistakenly looking at his sister’s chart. Michael shares that it took two visits to his doctor’s office before he told the doctor that he had a lump under his nipple. When first diagnosed, he was too embarrassed to tell his friends or family that he had breast cancer, but instead told them that he had chest cancer. Michael also shares the frustrations and unhappiness he experienced in the breast cancer oncologist and surgeon’s offices and clinics where he was segregated and treated differently from the other breast cancer patients because he was a man. He talks about how “pink; pink balloons, pink ribbons, and pink medical forms” asking him if he was breastfeeding and when was his last menstrual cycle made him feel like a freak. Because of a television show he saw Michael shared how he finally came to grips with being a man with breast cancer and how he came to understand that he isn’t a freak because he has breast cancer. He realized that he could improve his life by connecting with many different advocacy organizations including the Male Breast Cancer CoalitionMichael is now THRIVING with cancer. He has developed systems and tricks, which he shares in the podcast, to deal with having to go to a breast cancer clinic and be the only man there for a mammogram (Mike refers to them as a menograms). He also shared information about the great work that both he as an individual and the Male Breast Cancer Coalition do to support men with breast cancer and advocate for the inclusion of men in breast cancer research and clinical trials.

In this candid interview about male breast cancer, Nyack Rotarian Dr. Arnold Roufa, a retired OB/GYN, describes his own experience with breast cancer, detected in 1994. It is not nearly as prevalent as among women, but breast cancer affects about 2,000 men each year. Dr. Roufa describes the signs and the treatment, effective especially if the cancer has been detected early. Since the topic has not been part of a typical male’s medical concerns, it is more difficult to encourage men to take the same precautions as women, such as self-examination and an annual physical, which includes examination for breast cancer. --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/radiorotary/support
CHICAGO—Men who had breast-conserving therapy (BCT) including radiation for their early breast cancer lived longer than those who had total or partial mastectomy—with or without radiation—in findings from a large retrospective survey of male breast cancer reported at the 2018 …Sarah Bateni & Candice Sauder AJO
Even though breast cancer is more common in women, it can also develop in men. Shawn Chirrey, senior manager, health promotion and community engagement, with the Canadian Cancer Society, explains more.

When Mike Johnston felt a lump in his chest in 2009, he assumed it was a side effect of a high blood pressure medication. But after a routine doctor's visit, followed by a mammogram and ultrasound, Johnston's diagnosis was confirmed: He had male breast cancer. Hear Johnston reflect on his diagnosis and treatment, including how friends and family reacted to the news and why he has become such a big breast cancer advocate today.

Bob also talks about his photo shoot with Tops Off NYC, which raised awareness for female as well as male breast cancer survivors. If you are a male breast cancer survivor or know one, you need to hear this all new show available on demand!!
Dr Bogler talks to ecancertv at SABCS 2013 about male breast cancer. It is estimated that 1% of breast cancer occurs in men: the American Cancer Society estimates 2,240 male breast cancer cases vs 234,580 female cases in 2013 in the US. However, the male disease remains understudied and access to clinical trials for men is lags behind, as will be shown by analysis of grants, papers and trials. Dr Bogler makes the case that by including research on male breast cancer alongside the female disease, and providing direct targeted funds, there is the opportunity to fill important gaps in knowledge. Furthermore, raising awareness and improving trial eligibility has the important potential to improve the outcome for men with breast cancer.
Did you know that men can get breast cancer too? Mel sits down with Bill Becker and Bob DeVito, who both have male breast cancer, which makes up 1% of breast cancer cases. Bill and Bob are subjects of the documentary Times Like These. They are like me, sick of pink!! When you think about breast cancer you automatically think pink, well Bill and Bob, with the help of director/producer Nick Sadler, they want you to think differently about breast cancer, and put male breast cancer at the forefront of cancer awareness and research. They need your help to fund and finish the documentary. They will make you think differently about pink and October!
Male breast cancer accounts for approximately one percent of all breast cancer cases diagnosed in the United States each year. Listen to male breast cancer patient, Oliver Bogler, Ph.D.and his MD Anderson Cancer Center oncologist, Sharon Giordano, M.D., talk about male breast cancer, including the research, treatment, and Bogler’s experience as a “man in pink.”
Interim editor-in-chief, Shawn Kennedy interviews Eileen Thomas about her qualitative research exploring men’s awareness and knowledge about male breast cancer and implications for nursing practice.
