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.

Phenotype Approach IDs Rare ATR Variants as Potential Male Breast Cancer Susceptibility Alleles

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!!!

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.
