Breast cancer screening

Breast self-examination should be part of a routine physical examination, but often in males this is not done.

Screening mammography is not routinely performed in men, but may be considered for men at high risk, especially those with a BRCA2 pathogenic/likely pathogenic variant, starting at age 50 years or 10 years younger than the earliest known male breast cancer in the family (whichever is first).[72]National Comprehensive Cancer Network.
