Verified step by step guidance

Begin by understanding that breast cancer is a disease characterized by the uncontrolled growth of cells in the breast tissue.

Recognize that breast cancer can affect both men and women, although it is more common in women. Men have breast tissue and can develop breast cancer, albeit at a lower incidence rate.

Learn about the detection methods for breast cancer, such as mammograms, which are effective screening tools used to detect early signs of breast cancer in both men and women.

Understand that while some breast cancers are hereditary, not all cases are linked to genetic factors. Hereditary breast cancer is often associated with mutations in genes such as BRCA1 and BRCA2.

Conclude that the statement 'Breast cancer can occur in both men and women' is true, as it acknowledges the fact that breast cancer is not exclusive to women.
