The volume of fabrics of chest gland is very small, however at a certain stimulation the size of these fabrics increases. Influence of carcinogens in turn can also lead to development of cancer.
The major contributing factor of development of a breast cancer in men is the gynecomastia - dishormonal increase in mammary glands. It is known that 30-70% of cases of a breast cancer at men develop against the background of a gynecomastia, in particular at its knotty form.
