Although breast cancer is generally considered a women's disease, men are also affected. In Bogura, information on seven male breast cancer patients has been found over the past year. Doctors note that while the risk is lower in men, many do not take it seriously at first due to a lack of awareness.
Saiful Islam, a 67-year-old, and Sanjib Karmakar, a 61-year-old from Bogura, are receiving treatment for the disease. At TMSS Hospital's radiotherapy department, five out of 230 breast cancer patients treated over the past year were men. Experts state that men over 60 need to be cautious about this.
Prof. Dr. Md. Mobasher Ur Rahman, head of the oncology department at Shaheed Ziaur Rahman Medical College Hospital, stated that any changes like lumps in the breast or armpit, skin alterations, or nipple discharge should not be ignored and require medical consultation.
