Tenderness of the nipple can be a sign of both malignant and benign tumor formation or it can also be other types of disease. Our body is prone to many diseases that can cause the nipple to become soft and sensitive. But if the condition persists and doesn't go away naturally, then it could be a sign of a serious underlying disease such as cancer.

Underarm lump
A lump in the underarm is also a sign of breast cancer. It can be a normal lump which are commonly harmless. But once a lump is oversize and painful, then it should give you some concern. A medical examination is required to determine the cause of the lump.

Changes in breast size or shape
If all of the previous signs mentioned are present, the tendency is the inevitable changes of the breast size and shape. This is due to the tumor formation within the breast tissues.

I am not suffering to any symptoms mentioned above so I assume I have no breast cancer. I just want to ask, how do breast cancers in men acquired? I'm a regular weight lifter. So I am concerned because the weights do affect the muscles on the breast.

Don't worry Allen, most cases of breast cancer in men are not weight lifters. As you know, cancers are abnormalities of the human body cells. Basically you can't avoid cancer if you are bound to have it. Through medical advancements, we are well informed about its factors and causes. All we have to do is to avoid these factors and we will be fine.
