Yes, men do get breast cancer
Ross Broderick found the lump in his Breast while showering and passed it off as a fatty cyst. Why would he think any differently? Men don't get Breast Cancer, right? Wrong.

Maya Brandon | It's never too early
It's a truth universally acknowledged that all Penn students start listening when they hear the words “free dinner.” So when I learned there was a Women's Center event complete with pizza for undergrad and grad students, I was in. The event's title was “Breast Cancer 101,” so I expected to be in for a dull night. I thought it was weird that the Women's Center would host an information session for 18- through 20-year-olds when, in my mind, they should have scheduled it for over...

Study finds breast cancer changes with spread
London, Nov 4 - ANI: Almost 40 percent of Breast Cancer tumours change form as they spread, according to a UK study.

Breast Cancer often spreads to the lymph nodes and cells that travel in this way are often...

News report on breast cancer shouldn't focus on self-exams

Video aside, the bigger question is whether a breast self-exam is needed
To promote Breast Cancer awareness and prevention, a Washington, D.C., TV station is teaching women how to examine their Breasts. It's doing this by showing videos of partially nude women doing the same. (No bras or swimsuits or anything of the like.) This has drummed up considerable interest and considerable criticism. Here's the ABC News story from Good Morning America, plus a Washington Post story , on the matter. They both explore the possibility that the...
