Can a man have cancer?

FAQ

Yes, men can certainly develop cancer. Cancer is a disease characterized by the uncontrolled growth and spread of abnormal cells in the body. It can occur in various organs and tissues, and men are at risk of developing cancer in the same way as women. Common types of cancer that can affect men include prostate cancer, lung cancer, colorectal cancer, skin cancer, and testicular cancer, among others. Risk factors for cancer in men may include age, genetics, lifestyle choices (such as tobacco and alcohol use), exposure to certain chemicals or toxins, and family history, among others. Regular screenings, early detection, and lifestyle modifications can help reduce the risk of developing cancer in men. If you have concerns about cancer, it’s important to speak with a healthcare professional for appropriate evaluation, screening, and management.
