His Breast Cancer Awareness Inc

We are here to inform, educate and provide support for those impacted by male breast and hereditary cancer in men.

Offering insight, education and support of male breast cancer. Whether you’re at high risk, recently diagnosed or looking for support, HIS Breast Cancer Awareness is here to help. Founded in 2009 by a brother and sister who are both breast cancer survivors and carry the BRCA2 genetic mutation.

Male breast cancer accounts for about 1% of all breast cancers. Although rare, it is often detected later and may cause the cancer to become further progressed and more fatal. Breast cancer in men has the same causes as for women, higher levels of estrogen, family history, genetics, lifestyle or other exposures. Genetics and the mutation of specific genes such as BRCA1 and BRCA2 can increase the risk.
