Breast Cancer in Men: Breaking the Stigma

When we think of breast cancer, we often picture women in pink ribbons. However, it's crucial to recognize that breast cancer doesn't discriminate based on gender. While rare, breast cancer in men is a reality that deserves attention and understanding.

Breaking the Silence

Men account for about 1% of all breast cancer cases, but the stigma surrounding this diagnosis often leads to delayed detection and treatment. At Gytree, we believe in breaking this silence and empowering all individuals with knowledge about their health.
