Welcome to Onco Life Centre Podcast.

This episode looks at male breast cancer, a diagnosis many people don't expect because breast cancer is so often framed as a disease that only affects women. We walk through the warning signs, the main risk factors, and when a chest change is worth a doctor's visit.

You'll learn:
- Why men have breast tissue that can develop cancer, even though the disease is rare in men
- The most common early symptom: a painless lump behind the nipple
- Other warning signs, including nipple discharge, skin dimpling, and swelling under the arm
- How age, family history, and Klinefelter syndrome affect risk
- Why hormone therapy and certain liver conditions can also raise risk
- When to see a doctor about a new chest or nipple change
- What a clinical exam, imaging, and biopsy typically involve
- An overview of treatment options, including surgery and radiation

Male breast cancer is uncommon, but catching it early gives doctors more options. If something changes in your chest, it is worth a conversation with your doctor.
