The cause of male breast cancer is not clear but predisposing factors found are increased age over 50’s, family history of breast cancer, Klinefelter’s syndrome, obesity with BMI 30 or more. Hyperoestrogenism resulting from gonadal dysfunction, obesity, even excess alcohol causes increased risk of breast cancer in males.
