Men can get breast cancer too, especially those with BRCA1 or BRCA2 gene mutations. While mammograms aren’t part of routine screening for men, they’re used to check any lump, nipple change, or discharge. Most cases turn out benign, but early imaging can make a big difference.

Many of us are familiar with the BRCA1 and BRCA2 genes that, when mutated, are linked to an increased risk of breast cancer in women. But less often discussed is how BRCA gene mutations (and other, less-commonly known gene mutations) impact men. We spoke with BCRF investigator Dr. Kenneth Offit, chief of the Clinical Genetics Service at the Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center, to discuss how these affect men’s health and risk of cancer. | The Breast Cancer Research Foundation

Blue Cure on Instagram: "Genetic testing plays a powerful role in prostate cancer care. It can identify inherited mutations—such as BRCA1 and BRCA2—that may increase cancer risk and guide both treatment decisions and screening for family members. This approach also supports cascade testing, where sons, brothers, and close relatives are offered genetic testing once a mutation is identified, helping families catch cancers earlier.

BRCA1 isn’t just a gene — it’s information that can shape decisions about health, timing, family, and prevention. For most women, the lifetime risk of breast cancer is around 1 in 8. For people with a BRCA1 mutation, that risk can be much higher — often 60–80%. But a higher risk doesn’t mean certainty. And knowing your risk doesn’t mean there’s only one “right” choice. This is about understanding options, having the right conversations, and being supported — whatever path you take. For women. Fo

Who is at fault? Did you know that men can have breast cancer too? . Male breast cancer is uncommon, and when it occurs it is strongly associated with BRCA2 (breast cancer gene) mutations (and sometimes BRCA1). . . Daughters of a man with breast cancer DO qualify for hereditary cancer genetic testing, regardless of the father’s age at diagnosis. This is because: \t•\tMale breast cancer itself is a red-flag for an inherited mutation. \t•\tThe father could pass a BRCA mutation to sons or daughters

Genetic test results have come back positive for BRCA1. I want to get off this rollercoaster now. 🥹 💔 For people who carry a BRCA1 mutation: • Women have a much higher lifetime risk of: • Breast cancer (about 55-72%) • Ovarian cancer (about 39-44%) • Men have increased risk of: • Male breast cancer • Prostate cancer • Some other cancers (smaller increases) #breastcancerwarrior💕 #tnbc #BRCA1
