Breast health is important for both women and men. According to the nonprofit agency, breastcancer.org, about 1 in 8 U.S. women will develop invasive breast cancer over the course of her lifetime, and a man’s lifetime risk of breast cancer is about 1 in 1,000.
Regardless of your age, breasts typically change throughout the many phases of life. Understanding your body – what is normal and what isn’t – can be the key to treatment when something out of the ordinary may be found. In this Health Matters program Aultman Hospital’s Dr. Sabrina Shilad talks about breast treatment, surgery options and risk factors to help you stay healthy.
