Dormancy is a stage in cancer progression where the cells cease dividing but survive in a quiescent state while waiting for appropriate environmental conditions to begin proliferation again. [1]
Men with breast cancer have an absolute risk of presenting with a second cancer in their other breast of 1.75, i.e. they have a 75% increase of developing a contralateral breast cancer over their lifetimes compared to men who develop a breast cancer without having had a prior breast cancer. [5]
The rate of cancer recurrence is determined by many factors, including age, sex, cancer type, treatment duration, stage of advancement, grade of original tumor, and cancer-specific risk factors.

The federal Centers for Diseases Control reports that 91 men in the World Trade Center Health Program have been diagnosed with breast cancer to date, six times the number The Post first reported ...
Carcinocythemia, also known as carcinoma cell leukemia, [2] is a condition in which cells from malignant tumours of non-hematopoietic origin are visible on the peripheral blood smear. [ 3 ] [ 4 ] It is an extremely rare condition, [ 5 ] with 33 cases identified in the literature from 1960 to 2018. [ 4 ]
Breast cancer in men can be misdiagnosed or overlooked because it’s so rare, but early detection can be lifesaving.
