Breast cancer is the most prevalent cancer among women, accounting for nearly 30% of all cancers, while in men, it represents only 1% of cases. Breast cancer is the main cause of death for cancer, and its incidence and mortality vary according to patients' ethnicity, geographic region, and socioeconomic status. Due to the low prevalence of breast cancer among men and the scarcity of studies in the literature, exercises have been prescribed based on extrapolations from studies on female patients.

Article Synopsis
- Erectile Dysfunction (ED) is linked to a higher risk of coronary artery disease (CAD), as demonstrated in a study of 263 hypertensive patients using the IIEF-5 questionnaire for ED assessment.
- The study found that lower IIEF-5 scores correlated with older age, increased prevalence of CAD, and other risk factors such as smoking and renal function.
- Results suggest that using the IIEF-5 can provide additional insights into cardiovascular risk in patients with hypertension, especially those with ED scores below 21.
