Breast cancer is more common in men than most people think and for the same
reasons that these genes affect women. Men with the BRCA1 (Breast Cancer Type 1) mutations also have
higher possibilities of contracting pancreatic, testicular and early-onset
prostate cancer. The BRCA2 gene is most strongly associated with breast,
pancreatic and prostate cancers.
Richard Roundtree born in 1942, popular actor of "Shaft in Africa" developed a rare male breast cancer in 1993. The same year he had a double mastectomy and was treated with rounds of chemotherapy.
