KOTA BARU: Three cases of breast cancer involving men were reported at Hospital Universiti Sains Malaysia (HUSM) in Kubang Kerian, here last year with one patient succumbing to the disease.
Coordinator of HUSM's breast cancer information centre, Dr Nik Munirah Nik Mahdi, said according to the last national cancer registry in 2006, six men in Kelantan had died of breast cancer."Breast cancer is seen more as a disease that affects women but it is not necessarily so. That is why it is important for people from both sexes to be well informed about it," she said after the launch of the information centre's blog and a workshop on women's health yesterday by the chairman of USM board of directors, Prof Emeritus Datuk Dr M. Zawawi Ismail. Read more: 6 Kelantan men die of breast cancer http://www.nst.com.my/nst/articles/20brest/Article#ixzz12kjXZy27

Jadi jangan sangka barah payudara (breast cancer) hanya terkena pada wanita, yang jantan juga boleh kena. Unfortunately breast cancer in men tends to be more aggressive. I have seen a man with breast cancer presented with brain secondaries. Maksudnya datang dengan tanda-tanda barah otak, setelah disiasat didapati puncanya adalah barah payudara (dalam kes ini payu-jantan).

Jadi abang-abang tu jangan asyik nak buat BSE (breast self examination) pada isterinya saje, sendiri juga mesti rasa .......
