Yes -Around 100 men are diagnosed with breast cancer in Australia each year, compared witharound 14,000 women. Around 90% of men are diagnosed with breast cancer after the age of 50.Although breast cancer in men accounts for less than 1% of all breast cancers, it’s just as important for men as for women to see your doctor without delay if you find a breast change.
