Tyler Mane Begins Chemotherapy After Male Breast Cancer Diagnosis, Citing 1-in-750 Risk

Summary
Tyler Mane said he started chemotherapy on June 13 after being diagnosed with breast cancer, using a social media video to publicize the illness.
1 in 750 men will develop breast cancer in their lifetime, Mane said, arguing the disease is often overlooked in men and therefore detected at later stages.
Less than 1% of global breast cancer cases occur in men, and routine screening such as mammograms is not standard for them, contributing to delayed diagnosis.
A hard, painless lump near the nipple is the most common symptom, while treatment for men typically mirrors women's care with surgery followed by chemotherapy, radiation or hormone therapy.
