I'm a girl and breast cancer is a really huge topic going around, and i want to know if men can get breast cancer. if so, do they get maceptamies (i know i'm spelling it wrong) and what kind of treatment do they get? This is just curiosity, but it's also for other guys who might have it.

Men can get breast cancer, but it's not nearly as common in men as in women. Wikipedia's article on breast cancer says "Because the breast is composed of identical tissues in males and females, breast cancer can also occur in males, although cases of male breast cancer account for less than one percent of the total."

Treatment is similar, though males have less breast tissue to remove.
