Men of any age may develop breast cancer, but it is usually diagnosed in men aged 45 to 65 years. Breast cancer among men is less than 1% of all cases of breast cancer. Although rare, inflammatory breast cancer in men has found a very aggressive cancer that is growing rapidly. It is inflammatory because cancer cells block the lymph vessels, and this is manifested in the skin, which becomes thick and the floors, such that the appearance of orange peel.

You can find the types of breast cancer in men:

• infiltration ductal carcinoma: Cancer that has spread beyond the cells lining the ducts of the breast. This kind of suffering most men with breast cancer.

• ductal carcinoma in place: the abnormal cells in the lining of the duct, also called carcinoma in situ.

• Inflammatory breast cancer: the type of cancer, in which the breast looks red and swollen and feels warm.

• Paget’s disease of the nipple: the surface of the tumor core ducts under the nipple.

Inflammatory breast cancer can spread to a few weeks ago, is often confused with other things, as a rash or infection. Symptoms are:

• redness, swelling and warmth in the chest

• skin is red, purple or bruised

• The skin bumps and / or registered as an orange

• burning sensation, pain and tenderness

• Increase the size of breasts and inverted nipples

Because usually this type of cancer that is similar to a cup of plain fabric, but it spreadsthroughout breast tissue right path. Therefore it is very difficult to detect with mammography alone, and an MRI scan and a biopsy can not diagnose it usually says something. However, surgical biopsy and positron emission tomography (PET) can be effectively used for detection. In the near future, PET may be most important for the diagnosis of inflammatory breast cancer. Although still under evaluation, doctors found that PET will be able to see inflammatory breast cancer, most, including the lymph nodes removed from his chest, which will determine the presence of metastases in the improved diagnosis of other tests.

Certain factors affect prognosis (chance of recovery) and treatment.
Prognosis and treatment depends on the following aspects:

• the stage of cancer (if they are located in the breast only or spread to other parts of the body).

• type of breast cancer.

• concentration of estrogen and progesterone receptors in tumor tissue.

• If cancer is also in the other breast too.

• age and general health of the patient.
