The last one -- a young man's 1 in 1000 lifetime chance of getting breast cancer -- is actually quite curious: it's not that much lower than his chance of getting testicular cancer, which apparently has an approximately 1 in 250 lifetime chance (I assume in the US). [1]
And apparently a man is about equally likely to die from breast cancer as he is from testicular cancer: both have a lifetime chance of about 1 in 5000.
