Breast Cancer in Males

Not every man has "man boobs," but every man does have breasts and may develop breast cancer.  To find out which men are at greatest risk and to read about treatment and survival rates, see this page from the National Cancer Institute.  (Like many other federal websites, this one isn't being updated during the government shutdown, but since much of the ongoing research is also on hold, it's unlikely there have been any big breakthroughs since it was last updated.)

So guys, if you feel lumps or see other changes in your breasts, put on your nicest "Bro" or "Manzier" and make an appointment to see your doctor.
