A lot of attention is given to women's breast cancer, but men also fall victim to the disease.

A University of California study of nearly 2000 men with breast cancer found more than 10 percent developed a second cancer, such as stomach or skin cancer, at least two months after the breast cancer diagnosis.

Researchers say male breast cancer patients tend to be diagnosed with later-stage cancer.

The American Cancer Society estimates more than 1700 new cases of invasive breast cancer will be diagnosed among men in the United States this year.
