Breast cancer can affect men too.
Infertility in males could be linked to other health issues as well. A study recently published in the journalthat although breast cancer in males is less common, the chances of breast cancer in infertile men are double compared to males with no fertility issues.
For more than 12 years, a team of researchers at the Institute of Cancer Research in London conducted one of the most extensive studies on male in England and Wales. During their study, the researchers interviewed about 1,998 breast cancer patients and compared their fertility data with the data from more than 1500 other male subjects who didn’t suffer from the disease.

An important point to remember is that breast cancer cases are more common in females, and out of every 100 breast cancer patients in the US, 99 are females.is found to be linked to genetic and reproductive factors. The mutations that cause the disease in a female’s body may arise because of inherited genes, aging, exposure to radiation, alcohol intake, and hormonal imbalance.
However, in the case of men, the disease is rare and often considered a mystery because scientists are still not sure what triggers breast cancer-related genes in males. Highlighting a common misconception about the disease, one of the study's authors, Dr. Michael Jones, said, “Breast cancer is often thought of as something that only affects women, but men can also be diagnosed with the disease.
