There is a common misconception that breast cancer only affects women. And while the occurrence of breast cancer in men is significantly lower than in women, it still happens. And statistics show that men are less likely to survive this diagnosis, particularly because of later detection stemming from the lack of awareness that men are susceptible to the disease at all. The truth is that the tissue in the chest region is the same in men and women, whether we use the terms “breast” or “pecs.” The Blue Wave has been dedicated to spreading awareness of Male Breast Cancer since 2007, as well as highlighting the differences between male and female breast cancer.

Here are 5 things that you should know about The Blue Wave and what they do:

  1. For 10 years, The Blue Wave has been raising awareness and supporting the treatment and cure of Male Breast Cancer (in honor of Judah Gubbay, who lost his 13 year battle with the disease in 2007).
  2. The Blue Wave collaborates closely with Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center (MSKCC) and has funded critical projects such as cancer research on the unique metastasis of breast to brain cancer, a corner mammogram room in MSKCC’s Estee Lauder Breast Center, and the first significant study on the differences between male and female breast cancer.
  3. The Blue Wave has raised over $225,000.
  4. The Blue Wave is currently fundraising in support of their second study on Male Breast Cancer.
  5. All money raised by The Blue Wave goes directly to Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center; donations are tax deductible and are eligible for matching corporate gifts.
