Breast cancer affects millions of women each year , but breast cancer also can be diagnosed in men . Each year in the United States , about 2,400 cases of breast cancer are diagnosed in men , according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention . Roughly 270 men will be diagnosed with breast cancer this year in Canada , according to the Canadian Cancer Society . Macmillan Cancer Support says men have a small amount of breast tissue behind their nipples , where breast cancer potentially can develop . Breast tissue in boys and girls is the same until puberty , when girls start to develop more . Signs of male breast cancer include a lump or swelling in the breast , redness or flaky skin in the breast , irritation or dimpling of the skin around the nipple , nipple discharge , or pulling in or pain of the nipple , states the CDC .
