Male breast cancer is uncommon, accounting for less than 1% of all breast cancers. Carcinoma metastatic to the male breast is also unusual, with metastatic prostatic carcinoma being among the most common primary sites from which such tumours derive. Metastatic prostatic cancer and primary breast cancer may be histologically indistinguishable without immunohistochemistry because both often infil...

Male breast cancer represent 1% of all male cancers. The authors, by a review of literature, analyze risk factors and genic mutations involved in the development of such cancer. They discuss instrumental procedures of diagnosis and screening, histologic features and surgical approach of male breast cancer. Furthermore, they suggest adjuvant therapies stressing the importance of an early diagnos...

Male breast cancer is a very rare disease with an incidence of about 0.5-1% comparing with the one of female breast cancer but relatively little is known about its cause. Treatment strategies for breast cancer in males are derived from studies performed among females. The probable reasons behind the frequent, late diagnoses presented at stages III or IV might be the lack of awareness. The rarit...

Male breast cancer is rare, comprising 1% of all breast cancers and 1% of all cancers in men. Unlike in women, in men invasive lobular breast cancer (ILC) is very uncommon, making up 1% of all male breast cancers and 0.01% of all cancers in men. In the past, the low incidence of lobular breast cancer in men was thought to be due to a lack of lobular tissue in the male breast. However, the class...

Breast cancer is a rare disease in men representing nearly 1% of the total breast cancer cases worldwide. While treatments developed for women with breast cancer are often applied to treat men with breast cancer, however, lack of awareness of this disease leads to its detection at a later stage in men. This review discusses male breast cancer and draws comparisons with female breast cancer and ...

Some folks may wonder if men have breasts, and the truth is that all men have breasts! There is breast tissue behind the nipples of a male's chest, and as your questions indicate, men can get breast cancer. While diagnoses and treatment (more on these later) for breast cancer is similar for males and females, there is a big difference in prevalence. Breast cancer occurs quite infrequently in me...

Male breast cancer (MBC) is a rare disease, accounting for less than 1% of all breast cancer diagnoses worldwide. Although breast carcinomas share certain characteristics in both genders, there are notable differences. Most studies on men with breast cancer are very small. Thus, most data on male breast cancer are derived from studies on females. However, when a number of these small studies ar...
