1. Yes, it occurs in men, more so in the tissue between the breast and armpit.\n2. I would say family history, but I have never seen a study on that.\n3. Women don't have prostates. The prostate, found only in men, is a walnut-sized gland located in front of the rectum, at the outlet of the bladder (underneath the bladder). It contains gland cells that produce some of the seminal fluid, which protects and nourishes sperm cells in semen. The prostate surrounds the first part of the urethra, the tube that carries urine and semen through the penis.\n4. They don't.  Chemo causes hair loss and they may/may not choose to shave the rest.

No a male can not catch cancer, no one can.  But you can catch HPV which CAN cause cervical cancer.

Yesterday I heard a story about this on NPR. It was on All Things Considered called "Study: Estrogen Protects Some From Breast Cancer." It sounds like it is individual for each woman depending on past family history and overall current health. Check out the link.

according to what i've learned..imbalance of breast is normal..all parts of our body is imbalance..another example of imbalance of our body parts is the testicle of a man..one is small and the other is big.try to search for our human anatomy to lessen your worries.see yah!=)

Men have more testosterone and women have more estrogen. Estrogen actually causes breast tissue cells to multiply. The more fat a person has, the more estrogen present in the body. That is why a fat guy or one with a high body fat percentage could start to develop boobs. \n\nAnother interesting fact... the more estrogen in the body, the less of a sex drive.

I think it might depend on what type of cancer it is. Breast cancer and prostrate cancer can run in the family. Not sure skin cancer is that way, though, or lung cancer. Your chances also go up depending on your lifestyle, like if you smoke or overweight. Don't take my word on it though, check with your physician, he/she should be able to give you a fairly good idea of your risk, and probably be able to tell you ways to lower your risk.

male breast also have a risk to suffer cancer, but with smaller probability than woman

It can happen if hormone mix and stimulation is set to allow it, but I don't think they commonly do.\nAnd contrary to what the other guy said, the glands *are* there in males, just dormant.  There have been cases where non-transgendered men started lactating, usually because something in the environment was messing with their hormone levels.

Yes, this is called gynecomastia and can occur in men who take female hormones (for whatever reason) and some other medications (such as cimetidine and spironolactone). This can also happen in patients with several disorders: chronic liver disease, hyperthyroidism, testicular tumors, klinefelter's syndrome, and many more.

Man breasts can be due to a few things, one is being too fat, the other is hormonal ( testosterone converting to estrogen) and you may need an anti estrogen to neutralise this, medical forms include nolvadex.(used by bodybuilders)\n\nI have put a link in for herbal anti estrogen ( have never used it though so cannot give a recommendation for this site)\n\nHope this helps

Hereditary in the fact that all people in the world are related in one way or the other. So, yes . . anyone, of any age, race, sex, or despite whether they eat health foods or candy bars for lunch, exercise or are couch potatoes, smoke or not . . anyone can get cancer. There are trillions of cells in the human body, and at any moment one of the could become cancerous. \n\nCancer is hereditary, but not predictable. If your mother had breast cancer, you may be at a higher risk for breast cancer . . . you may take all the precautions, check your breasts for lumps, do every single thing right to check for breast cancer . . and than be totally shocked when cancer is discovered in your kidney, or colon, or that you have leukemia. The fact that your mother had breast cancer would be irrelevant. Or you may never get cancer at all. You cannot predict what will happen.\n\nThe only protection against cancer is to become as educated as you can possibly get to learn about all the warning signs, for any cancer. If you have any unusual bumps or lumps anywhere on your body . . have it checked immediately. It is also good to eat a well balanced healthy diet, exercise, learn to check your entire body for lumps or anything unusual, don't smoke or take drugs, and keep a healthy mind and attitude. That way should you ever find out you have cancer, you will be able to fight it. The healthier you are at diagnosis the more able you will be to fight the cancer successfully.

fibrocystic breasts are fairly common.  But, size has nothing to do with cancer.  Small women get cancer too.

Not really, the surgical correction is not too bad though.\n\nAre you aware that many men have *some* breast development?  Are you also aware that 1% of breast cancer is diagnosed in men?\nI have diagnosed breast cancer in tissue removed from gynecomastia done for cosmetic reasons.  I don't mean to scare you, as this almost certainly won't happen to you, but you should have all the information.  \n\nHormone manipulation won't change it, unfortunately, and weight loss only to the degree that you can lose the fat around it.  It actually may accentuate it more.

Yes, there could be, but men get breast cancer and I've not heard of many men taking the pill. There are millions of women who don't take the pill and still get breast cancer, but that doesn't mean there isn't a link, it just means it hasn't been found.\n\nI think the rise in cancers throughout the world is more likely to be linked to food preservatives, we all eat them. But I have no proof of this...

That is one cancer that women don't have to worry about. Women don't have prostates. Let's hear it for two X chromosomes!\n\nhttp://www.asiahifu.com/ProstateCancer.htm

http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/entrez/query.fcgi?cmd=Retrieve&db=pubmed&dopt=Abstract&list_uids=12711737&query_hl=18\n\nit is likely that female cancers are related to peripheral conversion of estrogens in the fat tissue to testosterone....
