Male breast cancer

Summary

This news speaks of the, rarely treated, male breast cancer. Indeed, although to a lesser extent than in women, men also suffer from this serious type of cancer. That is why an organization called "Fundación INVI" has been created that investigates about male breast cancer. It is an organization created by Màrius Soler, a man affected by this disease, and decided to start a personal struggle to investigate this sickness.

Text commentary 

Breast cancer is one of the most common cancers that exist in the world. That is why I have decided to choose this news referring to a specific aspect related to this disease.

Male breast cancer is not something we usually talk about when we talk about breast cancer. This is probably because it affects only one out of every hundred people affected. Clearly it is a very small percentage, but in any case it is clear that it must be investigated in order to find a solution to this problem. To this end, the INVI foundation that investigates male breast cancer serves the peculiarities that arise when men are affected. It must be taken into account that the health system has focused on the attention and specific problems that affect women with cancer, while there have been specific treatments for sick men.
