About 1% of all diagnosed breast cancers are in men, which means that up to 30 men a year in New Zealand and 120 men in Australia are diagnosed with what is generally regarded as a woman’s disease.

This means men are often diagnosed later than women with the same symptoms, and some have poorer outcomes as a result.
