The Most Common Types Of Cancers That Affect Men

Throat Cancer

There are a multitude of warning signs that an individual could be suffering from throat cancer. These signs include difficulty swallowing (dysphagia), voice changes, a sore throat, unexplainable weight loss, swelling of the eyes, jaw, throat, or neck, visible bleeding in the mouth or through the nose, and a chronic cough. Many patients also experience hoarseness as well. Although these symptoms may appear to be minor issues or symptoms of the common cold or flu, patients are advised not to let it drag on and worsen, and should have their throat examined by a medical professional, especially if they have a family history of throat cancer or are at risk for developing it.

Male Breast Cancer

Not many are aware that men can also suffer from breast cancer, as this cancer does not just target women, despite it not being as common in males. Some reports suggest that women are ten times more likely to get breast cancer than men. Male breast cancer is a rare form of cancer that develops in the breast tissue of men. Common symptoms of this rare cancer include a painless lump or thickening in the breast tissue, changes to the skin covering the breast area such as dimpling, puckering, redness or scaling, changes to the nipple such as redness, scaling, or a nipple that turns inward, and nipple discharge.
