KNOW YOUR RISK

Talk with both sides of your family to learn about your family history, and talk with your health care provider about your risk for breast cancer.

GET SCREENED

Talk with your health care provider about which screening tests are right for you if you’re at higher risk.

Have a mammogram every year starting at age 40 if you’re at average risk and have a clinical breast exam at least every 3 years starting at age 25, and every year starting at age 40.

KNOW WHAT IS NORMAL FOR YOU

See a health care provider if you:
-find a new lump (or any change) that feels different from the rest of your breast
-Feel something that’s different than what you’ve felt before

Men, this is for you too...

While breast cancer overwhelmingly affects women, men also have breast tissue and are at risk of developing breast cancer.

What’s more, because breast cancer is primarily seen as a “woman’s disease,” men may ignore symptoms—resulting in later-stage diagnoses and potentially worse outcomes. Although overall survival for male breast cancer patients has improved over time, the prognosis for men with the disease hasn’t advanced as much as it has for women. 

About one in 726 men will develop breast cancer in their lifetime.
While that statistic may not sound as daunting as the equivalent for women—one in eight will be diagnosed in their lifetime—the fact that male breast cancer is so rare makes it uniquely challenging. (BCRF).
