Home - The Male Breast Cancer Global Alliance

We are on a mission.

The Male Breast Cancer Global Alliance brings men with breast cancer together with researchers, clinicians and oncologists around the world for the purpose of advancing research, clinical trials and treatments for men diagnosed with breast cancer.

We advocate for all men diagnosed with breast cancer to ensure they receive equal access to support and treatment; serve as a source of support and resources for the men, their care partners, and families; and recruit volunteer “ambassadors” to increase awareness on a global scale.

Meet MBCGA Board Member
Michael Landesberg

Michael Landesberg is a courageous breast cancer survivor, generous philanthropist, passionate advocate, and experienced chef who lives every day by this mantra: courtesy is contagious; pay it forward. In April 2020, at the age of 46, he was diagnosed with HER 2+ (human epidermal growth factor receptor 2) breast cancer, right at the onset of the isolating quarantines of the COVID-19 pandemic. He also underwent genetic testing and discovered that he carries both the BRCA2 and CHECK2 gene mutations.
