🔍 Breast Lumps in Men: Know the Facts

Most breast lumps are not cancer—but every lump or change should be checked by a healthcare professional. Early evaluation is key to understanding your risk and taking the right next steps.

👉 While rare, men can also get breast cancer.

Unfortunately, many ignore warning signs or feel too embarrassed to seek help, delaying diagnosis and treatment. There is nothing shameful about taking care of your health.

🧬 If you have a strong family history of breast cancer or carry BRCA gene mutations, regular check-ups and screenings may be recommended—even for men.

📅 Don’t wait. Early detection can save lives!

Did You Know?

1 in 8 women in the U.S. will develop breast cancer in her lifetime — but that also means 7 in 8 won’t.

Early detection saves lives. When breast cancer is found early — before it spreads — it's much easier to treat successfully.

👉 Mammograms are the gold standard in early detection. These low-dose X-rays can spot changes in breast tissue before symptoms appear.

📅 Depending on your age and risk factors, annual mammogram screenings may be recommended.

💬 Talk to your doctor about when to start and how often you should screen.

Your health is worth it. 💗

October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month!
Breast cancer is the most common cancer diagnosed in women (after skin cancer), and while rare, it can affect men too.

💡 Early detection is key—regular screenings like mammograms can save lives. But mammograms don’t catch everything. That’s why it’s important to:

- Know how your breasts normally look and feel
- Perform regular self-exams
- Watch for symptoms like lumps, discharge, or changes in shape or texture
- Talk to your doctor about your personal risk

If you have a family history or a BRCA1/BRCA2 gene mutation, you may need to start screening as early as age 30. Genetic testing can help guide your care.

✅ Most breast lumps are not cancer, but it’s always important to get them checked by a healthcare professional.

Thanks to research, early detection, and better treatment options, survival rates are improving every year!

Your health is in your hands. Be aware. Be proactive. 💗

🎀 It’s National Mammography Day!

Early detection saves lives — and mammograms are your first line of defense. They can detect breast cancer up to 3 years before a lump can be felt. And when breast cancer is caught early, at a localized stage, the 5-year relative survival rate is 99%. That’s the power of early screening!

👩‍⚕️ Women 40+ should get regular screenings.
👨 Men can get breast cancer too — monthly self-exams are key.

Early detection saves lives! 📅 Schedule your mammogram today!

🟢 October is Liver Cancer Awareness Month! 🟢

Did you know the liver is your body’s largest internal organ and essential for survival? It's located just under your right ribs, beneath the right lung — and you can’t live without it.

Liver cancer often shows no symptoms in its early stages.

As it progresses, signs may include:
⚠️ Unexplained weight loss
⚠️ Abdominal pain
⚠️ Vomiting
⚠️ Yellowing of the skin (jaundice)

Early detection saves lives. This month, let's raise awareness and prioritize liver health. 💚

October 7th is National Trigeminal Neuralgia Awareness Day! 💥🧠

Trigeminal Neuralgia is a chronic pain condition that affects one of the largest nerves in the head — the trigeminal nerve — causing sudden, severe facial pain. Even everyday actions like brushing your teeth, smiling, or applying makeup can trigger sharp, electric shock-like pain.

At SFPTI, we offer stereotactic radiosurgery — a non-invasive, highly effective treatment endorsed by the International Society of Stereotactic Radiosurgery. For more information or a consultation, please call us at 561-323-6498 or email us at info@sfpti.com

About SFPTI

"Proton therapy is the latest and by far the most advanced radiation treatment available. At SFPTI we use these highly precise particle beams instead of traditional x-rays to treat tumors more precisely, with much less exposure to the surrounding normal tissues. Proton therapy can be used to treat children with cancer as well as adult tumors of the brain, spine, head and neck, lung, prostate, GI tract, and breast tumors. We are truly grateful to finally be able to make this long standing vision of bringing this world-class technology to south Florida a reality." SFPTI is led by Medical Director, Tim R. Williams, M.D., together with Scott A. Gasiorek M.D. With nearly 60 years of combined radiation oncology experience, they are among the most trusted and respected radiation oncologists in Palm Beach County. Dr. Charles Shang is the Director of Medical Physics and is one of the industry’s preeminent medical physicists, having practiced for over 30 years. He works closely with the physicians to devise the safest and most effective treatment plans for our patients.
