Oncologist, member of the European Society of Clinical Oncologists (ESMO), Candidate of Medical Sciences Andrey Pylev said that men who are obese, smoke and drink alcohol can face breast cancer.
In a conversation with news agency “Ura.ru” on Wednesday, September 7, the specialist noted that cirrhosis of the liver, which increases the level of estrogen, can also become a factor in the development of a malignant tumor in the breast. It can also be the intake of this hormone associated with the treatment of a disease.
The doctor explained that any condition, situation, disease characterized by an increase in estrogen levels and a decrease in testosterone levels in men is at risk.
“It could be obesity. Adipose tissue produces estrogen. Elderly people are also more likely to get sick, ”360 TV channel quotes Pylev.
The doctor added that in men, breast cancer behaves more aggressively, because their mammary gland is significantly smaller than in women. Small tumors can grow into adjacent structures and be inoperable, since men themselves are less likely to turn to breast lumps, writes Reedus.
