Breaking the Stigma: Men Get Breast Cancer Too When we think of breast cancer, we often associate it with women, but did you know that 2.9% of all breast cancer cases in Ghana occur in men? Male breast cancer, though rare, is a reality that deserves attention. Most cases in men are ductal carcinomas, and a significant number (80%) are diagnosed with lymph node involvement, meaning the disease is often advanced by the time it’s detected. The average age of diagnosis in men in Ghana is between 40-49 years, but the stigma surrounding male breast health often leads to delays in seeking care. Symptoms like a lump, nipple discharge, or changes in the chest area should never be ignored. It’s time to break the silence and educate our communities. Breast cancer doesn’t discriminate by gender. Early detection can save lives. so let’s encourage regular checks and consultations, for men and women alike. Don’t wait! If you notice unusual changes in your chest or breast area, consult a healthcare provider immediately. Early detection makes all the difference. Let’s work together to spread awareness and save lives. #BreastCancerAwareness #MaleBreastCancer #HealthForAll #EarlyDetectionSavesLives #GhanaHealth #Bisayen
