What age would males get breast cancer?


What age would males get breast cancer?

Fewer than 1% of all people diagnosed with breast cancer are male, and most of them are over 60.

Through breast cancer support networks I've met a few men with breast cancer who were only in their fifties or late forties.

Most women diagnosed with breast cancer are over 50 (80%), it's rare in women under 40, fewer than 0.1% are under 30 and it's almost unheard of in women under 25.

So you can see how rare breast cancer in a young man would be.

Just like females. At any age after puberty.

Most common age for men is over the ages of 50-60.
