REMEMBER TO CHECK YOUR MALE FRIEND/LOVER/HUSBAND: All people, whether male or female, are born with some breast cells and tissue. A man' breast cells and tissue can develop cancer too.

Men carry a higher mortality than women do, primarily because awareness among men is less and they are less likely to assume a lump is breast cancer,
