When people think of breast cancer, most think of “pink” and breast cancer in women. But the truth is men develop breast cancer, too. Men make up about 1% of all breast cancer cases, which means 1 in 726 men will be diagnosed in their lifetimes. The diagnosis is rare in men, but that is still a lot of men getting breast cancer.
Aging has traditionally been viewed as an unavoidable decline, but modern science and technology are beginning to challenge that assumption. Today, researchers, physicians, and innovators are not only working to extend lifespan but also healthspan—the years lived in good health, free from disease and disability. While there is no single solution or shortcut, the future of healthy aging will be shaped by breakthroughs in medicine, advanced technology, and evolving lifestyle strategies.
