Yes, men get 5% of all breast cancer, but they are more likely to die of it than women because men don't do regular breast exams and they aren't taken as seriously by their doctors and they don't get the treatment they need on time.

Yeah, but because that part of the body isn't so prominent or desirable it's not talked about as much. Also I don't think -- maybe wrong -- too many men die of breast cancer.

Men can and do get breast cancer. Men have undeveloped mammary glands, but they exist. Breast cancer has killed men.

Yes - men have tissue in that area that can become cancerous.
