How male breast cancer is treated depends on whether the cancer is noninvasive or invasive, which may also be referred to as local or systemic. Noninvasive breast cancer is in the earliest stage, occurring in a milk duct, and not yet spread out of the duct.

What Is Male Breast Cancer?

Breast cancer is a malignant tumor that develops from cells of the breast. Before puberty, girls and boys alike have a small amount of breast tissue with a few ducts (tiny tubes that carry milk) located under the nipple and areola. Hormonal changes at puberty cause girls’ breasts to grow.

Male breast tissue does not increase as it does in females after puberty. It does contain ducts and may contain a few lobules (glands that produce milk if the right hormones are present). Men’s breast duct cells can become cancerous, as can any cell of the body. This disease is less common among men than women because men’s breast ducts are less developed.
