That's the top story in San Antonio today. It's something most of us don't even think about. And, while it's much, much rarer than in women, it's still out there. Here's part of the report from KENS 5:
About 2,000 men this year are expected to get a form of cancer so rare in men, the risk is less than one tenth of one percent.
