MEN CAN ALSO DEVELOP BREAST CANCER – DR. ELSIE

Breast cancer is commonly associated with women, but men can also develop breast cancer. Even though the frequency of occurrence in men is significantly lower, it’s essential to be aware of the signs and symptoms of breast cancer in men.

On Lucky TV’s #AdekyeɛMuNsem Health show, Dr. Elsie said, that 2.9% of men develop breast cancer in Ghana.
Cancer can occur in men when there is a hormonal imbalance.
