Breast cancer does not favor large breasts over small ones. So no matter what size bra you wear, it does not change your odds of developing breast cancer. Another common myth is that you cannot get breast cancer after having a mastectomy, which is a procedure in which the breasts are removed. Although having a prophylactic mastectomy decreases the risk of breast cancer by ninety percent, some women still have a small chance of developing the disease.

Just like the size of a woman's breasts, many individuals believe that certain factors can increase a man's chances of developing prostate cancer. Explore some of these myths now.
