Im sure they can, but so can being inside too long, or outside too long, wearing no bra could too, or blinking too much. Something else that is a part of your daily routine significantly increases you chances of cancer. I am not a female, but i am certain sports bras are sometimes important to wear.  Dont worry about cancer

Anyone can get breast cancer, including men...\nBackground and importance of the study: Most people tend to think of breast cancer as a woman's disease. But men get breast cancer too. According to the American Cancer Society, about 1200 new cases of breast cancer are diagnosed in American men each year (compared to about 200,000 cases of breast cancer in U.S. women).\n\nWe need to learn much more about breast cancer in men, and how it responds to various treatments, in order to improve the diagnosis and therapy for men who have this disease.\n\nThis study tried to shed some light on male breast cancer by examining what happened to 93 men with the disease.\n\nStudy designs: Portuguese researchers looked over the medical records of 93 men who developed breast cancer between 1974 and 2002. From this information, they determined:\n\n    * the most common kinds of breast cancers the men developed,\n    * the average time between first symptom and diagnosis,\n    * the most common treatments,\n    * how long the men lived after treatment, and\n    * what factors influenced their survival.\nBreast cancer in men is a rare disease. Less than 1% of all breast cancers occur in men. In 2005, when 211,400 women were diagnosed with breast cancer in the United States, 1,690 men were diagnosed with the disease.\n\nYou may be thinking: Men don't have breasts, so how can they get breast cancer? The truth is that boys and girls, men and women all have breast tissue. The various hormones in girls and women's bodies stimulate the breast tissue to grow into full breasts. Boys' and men's bodies normally don't make much of the breast-stimulating hormones. As a result, their breast tissue usually stays flat and small. Still, you may have seen boys and men with medium-sized or big breasts. Usually these breasts are just mounds of fat. But sometimes men can develop real breast gland tissue because they take certain medicines or have abnormal hormone levels.\n\nBecause breast cancer in men is rare, few cases are available to study. Most studies of men with breast cancer are very small. But when a number of these small studies are grouped together, we can learn more from them.

well to be scientifically correct (i think but hey im 16 so what do i know) i think all of us have "cancer" cells when we are concieved, but i think it takes somethin to activate them, so really, technically speaking (refer to comment above) i think its when u are born..? but i know thats not what u asked so lets see, i knew a girl that got breast cancer (at least she found out about it) 2 months after she graduated from high school

It is possible, but extremely rare. However, there are normal growth-related changes that can create lumps in the breasts (such as fibrocysts and fibroadenomas) that are not cancerous. Only a health professional can tell for sure, so it's still a good idea to have any lumps checked out. And all females should perform monthly breast self-examinations. If you start young, you can learn what is normal for your breasts and you'll know if something does happen later in life.\n\nA good web site you might want to visit is\nhttp://kidshealth.org/parent/question/general/breast_exams.html.\n\nHope this helps.

Its true because of the excess estrogen that it contains. It also gives women thyroid cancer.

No.  Cancer is a mutation of your body's cells and you can't cause that just by plucking the hairs, no matter how many you pluck.

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.

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...

Yes.  Check it out. Go to your county hospital.  Trust me, this is very important.  Men can develpoe breast cancer just as women can & drainage from the nipple is a symptom.  Good luck.

I asked the same question because I just had one. They said yes because you can still get vaginal cancer and ovarian cancer.

No it is not normal to have breast that are differant in size or painful. Since cancer is only painful in advanced stages, you may have fibrocystic breast. Either way you should consult your Dr. just to be on the safe side, if it turns out to be fibro, please e-mail me and I`ll tell you a secret I learned at the age of 17 to rid you of the lumps and pain..I learned a something, believe this or not from a chiropractor when the Dr.`s was going to remove my breast, IT WORKED!!! I`m 43 and have no problems! Be Blessed, I`ll be praying for you! Rev.Susan

Bras and panties are fine...I'm sure you are refering to the myth that breast cancer is cause by bra underwires and also that underwear can cut off your lymphatic system. This is totally untrue. The American Cancer Society has more info. There are 100s of 1,000s of women over the age of 45 who wear underwear (bras and panties) that are fine.

I don't hink wearing bra will cuase breast cancer. Deodorant is one of the biggest causes and obviously if it runs in the family genetically you could also be prone.\n\nI found in Marks and Spencers the other day these stick on nipple covers that will just go over your nipples and prevent them from getting rubbed
