After a brief silence, there was a burst of laughter in the room, "Hahahaha... Mom, I'm so happy! ”

"It's not Dr. Li, although he looks like a girl, but he is indeed a man, you said he has breast cancer, mom, I'm laughing!"

The male assistant also nodded, "Doctor Li, I'm a pure master!" ”

Li Xiyang glanced at the two of them and said, "The occurrence of breast cancer is due to the appearance of malignant tumor tissue in breast cells, and men also have breast tissue, so there is also the possibility of causing breast cancer." ”

Yes?!

Really?

White Jasmine suddenly stopped laughing.

The male assistant was even more panicked, "It's not Dr. Li, don't tease me!" ”

"I'm not kidding you, breast cancer is one of the common tumors in women, but men also have breast tissue, although male hormones inhibit the growth of breast tissue, but it cannot make the breast tissue disappear completely, so men can also develop breast cancer.

Breast cancer is rare in men, accounting for 1% of all breast cancers, which means that women have a 100 times higher risk of breast cancer.

A man's lifetime risk of developing breast cancer is 1 in 1,000.

But that doesn't mean there isn't!

The male assistant was dumbfounded, "In other words, I'm the thousandth?" ”

Li Xiyang nodded and said, "One of the risk factors for male breast cancer is exposure to radiation, such as patients who have undergone chest radiotherapy. If there is a malignant tumor, radiotherapy is a last resort.

In addition, it is important to avoid exposing the chest to radiation as much as possible and not to undergo chest CT and X-rays too frequently.

The second is that estrogen levels are too high, men can synthesize a small amount of estrogen, but in some cases, too much estrogen is secreted, which not only leads to male breast enlargement, but also increases the risk of breast cancer.

One of these conditions is obesity, and weight loss is a healthy means for both men and women to reduce the risk of breast cancer.

The second of these conditions is long-term use of drugs such as antihypertensive drugs, drugs to reduce stomach acid, drugs to treat prostate cancer, etc.

Crickelter's syndrome and cirrhosis can also lead to high estrogen levels.

The third is heredity. If several female relatives develop breast cancer, it increases the risk of breast cancer in men. In this case, don't just think about the female in the relative, the male member should also go for genetic testing to see if there is a BRCA-2 mutation.

If there is, the likelihood of developing breast cancer in a lifetime increases by 60 times, but it is not as high as that of women with this mutation and can be checked regularly. BRCA-1 mutations are not linked to male breast cancer.

The fourth is to take finasteride, which treats hair loss and prevents prostate cancer.

Because it is very rare for men to have breast cancer, it is naturally not necessary for every man to have regular mammography, because there is very little breast tissue in men, and once it becomes cancerous, it is easy to feel the lump.

If you think you are in a high-risk group, you can feel your chest regularly and check for BRCA-2 mutations.

In conclusion, there is no difference between male and female breast cancer in terms of disease classification and progression.

Li Xiyang said to play, and the male assistant touched his left breast, "I thought it was my fitness that had an effect, it turned out... It's a fucking lump, woooooooooo

"Doctor, am I malignant or benign?"

Although the male assistant is young, he has also heard that there is a difference between benign and malignant tumors.

The benign one is a lump, it doesn't have a big impact, and the malignant one is going to die!

Li Xiyang shook his head, "This still needs to be further examined to know, I suggest you go to the oncology department for a biopsy!" ”

The man slumped on the bench with a glazed gaze and said, "Doctor, do I want to sit down for a while?" ”

Li Xiyang understood the other party's mood and nodded.

The white jasmine took out a bottle of medicine from her bag and handed it to the male assistant, "Huh! ”

The male assistant was puzzled, "What's this?" ”

White Jasmine said, "Anti-stress medicine! ”

The male assistant rolled his eyes, "Sister, I'm suffering from breast cancer, I'm not depressed, okay, it's time for you, don't mess with me!" ”

"Look at your cowardice, I'm afraid you'll collapse before you get on the operating table!"

The male assistant couldn't hold on anymore, and Ula burst into tears.

Shame on the dead, why do you think I'm a big man with such a disease! ”

White Jasmine whispered, "It's not so strange to say it's you!" ”

"What do you say?"

"Ahem, it's nothing, I mean we have a disease to heal, don't be afraid!"

"Hmph, you're talking about it easily, it's not that you're sick!"

"Hey, how do you say that you're hungry=, I'm not comforting you, besides, even if you have breast cancer, it's a big deal to cut it like me, anyway, your man has no breasts, and it makes no difference if it's flat!"

The male assistant cried even worse, "You're talking about human words, woo woo!" ”

"Ahem, let's do it, if you like big breasts, when you cut it, I'll do you a breast augmentation, and give me a material, don't worry, how about I pay for it?"

The male assistant looked up, "Are you serious?" ”

"Really, really, really can't be more real!"

"That's... That's pretty much it! ”

Listening to the conversation between the two, Li Xiyang became more and more incomprehensible about these entertainment circles.

It's as if the removal of organs and the replacement of organs are like a daily routine for them.

"But Dr. Li, is it easier for men to get breast cancer than women?"

Li Xiyang shook his head, "In fact, the mortality rate of male breast cancer patients is higher, 19% higher than that of women. ”

Yes?!

The male assistant, who was a lot more relaxed just now, was scared again.

Li Xiyang said again, "You don't have to worry too much about this! ”

The male assistant wondered, "Why?" ”

"The biggest reason for the higher mortality rate of male breast cancer is that male breast cancer has a lower level of awareness, and most patients are found to be in the middle and advanced stages, so the mortality rate is higher than that of female breast cancer patients," Li explained.

At present, male breast cancer patients account for about 1% of breast cancer patients in China, and most of them are middle-aged and elderly people. ”

As he spoke, Li Xiyang glanced at the male assistant up and down, "You shouldn't be 30 yet, right?" ”

The man hurriedly said, "The birthday I just did last month, 27!" ”

Li Xiyang nodded, "So you found out in time, and you will cooperate with the doctor for treatment later, it is not a big problem." ”

Hearing this, the male assistant was completely relieved.

It doesn't matter what big and small breasts he has, the key is to be able to save his life.

Li Xiyang looked at the male assistant and said that he was also lucky.

If he hadn't just accompanied Bai Jasmine to the hospital, and happened to say that his chest was not symmetrical, I am afraid that by the time he really realized the problem, it would have been in the middle and late stages.

In fact, the early detection rate of male breast cancer in China is lower than that of women, and the misdiagnosis rate is high, which is related to the influence of traditional concepts, as well as the attention that patients and doctors pay due to male breast cancer.

In fact, many diseases exist in the eyes of the common people, just like this male assistant, most people think that men will not get breast cancer, so there is no time to seek medical attention if there is a problem, delaying the best time for treatment, often resulting in unbearable results.

You can't wait for a seizure to get a medical visit, then it's really too late.

In addition to strengthening patients' awareness of their own health management and examination, the society should also find ways to strengthen the promotion and popularization of this knowledge, just as HRV prevention publicity can enter the community.

If more neglected diseases can be publicized and popularized in the community, many people will be saved.
