On Wednesday's Morning Focus, Alan Morrissey was joined by Greg Carey from Shannon. Greg published a book of poetry two years ago, which raised awareness about breast cancer in men. This is an issue that Greg knows about only too well, as he was diagnosed with breast cancer during the COVID-19 Pandemic.
Breast cancer in males is a rare cut clinically significant disease. Males have many of the same risk factors as females, but delay in seeking health care puts them at greater risk. Richard Pullen, Ed.D., MSN, director of the R.N. to BSN program in the School of Nursing, explains why males might put off reporting a lump in their breast or even checking for lumps. Dr. Pullen tells us what to look for, how we can help reduce the social stigma and instead support those who are at risk for developing breast cancer. One of the ways to start is by having conversations about awareness, so share this episode with your friends and family.

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!

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.
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

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.

Universe, what's good?! Today's episode features Ron Rapaport, a male breast cancer survivor. Yes, breast cancer impacts 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.
