Though it’s thought of as a disease that strikes women, men also battle breast cancer.

“Men have breast tissue. I think that’s an important lesson,” says Dr. Kathryn Ruddy, medical oncologist and director of Mayo Clinic’s Cancer Survivorship Program. “If a man finds an abnormality in his breast tissue, he should seek prompt medical attention.”

In this Mayo Clinic Minute, Dr. Ruddy explains who’s most at risk and what symptoms to watch for with breast cancer in men. Jeff Olsen reports.

The risk of Breast cancer recurrences depends on so many factors and different types of breast cancers have different risk profiles. We know that the risk of recurrence for all breast cancers is highest in the first five years after diagnosis and this is at around 10%.

The risk is actually highest in the first few years after diagnosis.

WORRIED ABOUT A BREAST LUMP OR SYMPTOM?
FRUSTRATED AND CONFUSED BY CONFLICTING INFORMATION?
TRYING TO NAVIGATE LIFE AFTER A BREAST CANCER DIAGNOSIS AND DON’T KNOW WHERE TO TURN?

Breast health has become an important topic for both women and men. But with a huge amount of conflicting and confusing information out there, it can be hard to find the advice, support, and care that you need.

My Breast My Health was created to make understanding breast health easy. Whether you’re looking to learn how to keep your breasts healthy, concerned about new symptoms or learning to live post-diagnosis, you’re in the right place.

Hi, I'm Dr Tasha

I’m a Doctor, Breast Cancer Surgeon and Medical Educator. After 20 years helping people to understand and overcome breast health problems, I’ve seen first hand the fear, frustration and stress that my patients go through.

As a breast specialist with over a decade’s worth of experience, I understand finding the right information, processing a diagnosis, understanding treatment and getting accurate, practical advice as you ride the rollercoaster of emotions can be really tough.

But I’m here to help.

The internet can be a wonderful source of information but when it comes to breast health there’s a lot of inaccurate information out there. Listening to the wrong advice could cause you unnecessary worry or even put your health at risk.

So I wanted to create an accessible hub where you could find useful, accurate and reliable information from a trusted source – a Breast Health Doctor – all in one place.

That’s exactly what you’ll find here on my YouTube Channel.

Breast cancer is treatable, but it's vital to spot the disease early so that treatment has a better chance of success.

Our video talks about the signs of breast cancer, and why spotting breast cancer early is important.

Breast lump
The first symptom of breast cancer for many women is a lump in their breast. But 9 out of 10 breast lumps (90%) are benign. That means they are not cancers.

But if you spot a lump, see your doctor straight away.

Change in size, shape or feel of a breast
Your breast might look bigger or have a different shape than usual. It might feel different. Many healthy women find that their breasts feel lumpy and tender before their period.

Get to know the size, shape and feel of your breasts. See your doctor if you notice any changes or anything that is unusual for you.

Breast pain
Breast pain is very common and it’s not normally due to cancer. You might get pain in one or both breasts for a while, which goes after a time. There might be no obvious reason for this pain, even if you have a lot of tests.

See your doctor if you have breast pain.

You have plenty of time to make decisions

Making good decisions is the most difficult part of having breast cancer. You will feel pressed for time to learn everything and start your treatment as soon as possible. Time is usually on your side. You must work with your team to learn everything about your cancer and treatment options. We created the Breast Cancer School for Patients to quickly teach you to be your own expert in breast cancer. You will make better decisions once you become your own “expert” and best advocate.

A few facts about time to treatment:

The average time from the date of cancer diagnosis to the day of lumpectomy surgery is about 32 days. The average time to mastectomy surgery is about 40 days.

It can take anywhere from 3 to 12 months from cancer diagnosis to complete your final treatments, and up to ten years if you need hormonal therapy. It is a marathon. Conserve your emotional and physical efforts for the challenges ahead.

Finding your breast cancer (1 – 3 weeks)

Most small breast cancers are found on screening mammography and possibly by ultrasound or maybe a breast MRI. You may have detected your own breast lump and sought further help from your physician. The time to schedule a mammogram, have it performed, return for further breast imaging and then get the results can take days to weeks. Always ask to have your tests and appointments scheduled as soon as possible.

Getting a diagnosis: biopsy & results (2 – 14 days)

Getting scheduled to have an image-guided breast biopsy by a breast surgeon or radiologist can vary. Most NAPBC accredited Breast Centers work quickly to schedule biopsies for those who might have a breast cancer. Our “Minimally Invasive Breast Biopsy“ lesson (here) outlines why needle biopsies are the standard of care.
Make sure to ask (demand) that the physician who does your biopsy personally calls you with the results within a day or two. Call for your biopsy pathology results if you think there is a delay.

My pathology report: (3 – 14 days)

Ask for a copy of your initial biopsy report that will be available in 2-3 days.
Ask for a copy of your final pathology report with your receptor results.
Our courses on “My Pathology Report” and “My Receptors” offer more details.

Surgery or chemotherapy first?

Surgery is usually the first treatment for early stage breast cancer.
Most patients will not need chemotherapy.
If you have Estrogen receptor negative (ER-) or a “HER2-Positive“ tumor, then you will likely need chemotherapy either before or after surgery. There are distinct benefits to “Neoadjuvant Chemotherapy” before surgery. Take our video lessons linked to these topics.

Is radiation needed? (4 – 6 weeks)

Most patients that have a lumpectomy will need radiation.
Whole breast radiation is the most common type and takes 4 to 6 weeks.
Only a few patients that have a mastectomy will also need radiation.
