yes they can. any tumor in the breast tissue (which men have) is breast cancer. Women just have more tissue,glands, etc for cancer to get a foothold. But men do in fact get brest cancer.

my mother has breast cancer and when i was with her at the doctors office 3 men came in. I later founf out that all three had breast cancer. The doctor said that when a man finds a lump in their breast that they usually just shrug it off thinking "im a guy i cant get breast cancer". Then after they wait and wait to see a doc, it gets worse and is more difficult to treat because they dont act on it early enough

They can. I think 2% off all breast cancers are male (I am not completely sure about this percentage, but I think I heard the information somewhere).
