Breast cancer is the most commonly diagnosed cancer in women worldwide. While more commonly associated with women, it can also affect men

Mammary glands, which are located in the breast overlying the pectoralis major muscles, are present in both sexes, but usually are functional only in the female.

Men get breast cancer too. Mammograms are important tools to evaluate a breast mass for women and men. Mammograms allow the early detection of cancer and save lives.

Breast cancer is the second most common cancer in women after skin cancer. Mammograms can detect breast cancer early, possibly before it has spread.
