BRCA mutations are inextricably linked with breasts, but they can also lead to cancer in the pancreas, the prostate, and maybe more parts of the body.
As many as 60 percent of men with changes in BRCA2 develop prostate cancer, yet men are generally far less aware than women that BRCA mutations can affect them at all.
Roughly one in 400 people carry a harmful mutation in BRCA1 or BRCA2, and half of them are men. But women are far more likely to have been tested for the mutations—up to 10 times as likely, according to one study.
