Male breast cancer is an uncommon disease accounting for only 1% of all breast cancers. We present the evaluation, treatment and outcome of male patients seen with breast cancer in our institution. Male patients that had histological diagnosis of breast cancer from 2001 to 2010 were retrospectively evaluated. After evaluation patients were treated with modified radical mastectomy. Combination chemotherapy was given to patients with positive axillary lymph nodes. Radiotherapy and hormonal therapy were also employed. There were 57 male patients with breast cancer which accounted for 9% of all breast cancers seen during the study period. Their mean age was 59 ± 2.3 years. The mean tumor diameter was 13 ± 2.5 cm. Fifty three (93%) patients presented with advanced disease including 15 with distant metastasis. Four patients with stage II disease were treated with modified radical mastectomy, chemotherapy and tamoxifen. Of the 30 patients with sage III disease that had modified radical mastectomy, complete axillary clearance and tumor free margins were achieved in 25. Overall 21 (36.8%) patients were tumor free at one year. Overall 5-year survival was 22.8%. In conclusion, male patients with breast cancer present with advanced disease which is associated with poor outcome of treatment.

Purpose Male breast cancer is a rare disease with an incidence rate less than 1% of that of female breast cancer. Given its low incidence, few studies have assessed risk and prognosis. Methods This population-based study, including 459,846 women and 2,665 men diagnosed with breast cancer in Denmark, Finland, Geneva, Norway, Singapore, and Sweden over the last 40 years, compares trends in incidence, relative survival, and relative excess mortality between the sexes. Results World standardized incidence rates of breast cancer were 66.7 per 105 person-years in women and 0.40 per 105 person-years in men. Women were diagnosed at a younger median age (61.7 years) than men (69.6 years). Male patients had a poorer 5-year relative survival ratio than women (0.72 [95% CI, 0.70 to 0.75] v 0.78 [95% CI, 0.78 to 0.78], respectively), corresponding to a relative excess risk (RER) of 1.27 (95% CI, 1.13 to 1.42). However, after adjustment for age and year of diagnosis, stage, and treatment, male patients had a significantly better relative survival from breast cancer than female patients (RER, 0.78; 95% CI, 0.62 to 0.97). Conclusion Male patients with breast cancer have later onset of disease and more advanced disease than female patients. Male patients with breast cancer have lower risk of death from breast cancer than comparable female patients.

Background: Male breast cancer (MBC) is an uncommon malignancy accounting for <1% of all cancers in men and <1 % of overall breast cancer cases. Although there are many similarities between MBC and female breast cancer (FBC), they are not identical in clinical behaviour. There is need to understand the exact biological behavior of MBC.Methods: A retrospective observational study was done at State Cancer Institute, IGIMS, Patna which included all MBC patients registered during a 5-year study period (January 2016 to April 2021). 16 consecutive cases of MBC were identified and their detailed clinicopathological profile was analyzed.Results: MBC accounted for 1.10% of the total breast cancer cases. The median age of presentation was 58 years. Most common presentation was lump. Invasive ductal carcinoma (IDC) was most common histology. Majority of the patient presented to us in advanced stage. Estrogen receptor (ER)/progesterone receptor (PR) status was found to be positive in 12 patients. HER-2/neu receptor was positive in 4 patients. 2 patients had triple negative disease (TNBC) status. Surgery in the form of modified radical mastectomy (MRM) was done in 10 patients. All patients received adjuvant therapy as per NCCN guidelines.Conclusions: MBC is rare disease presenting at a relatively early age in Indian male patients. Most of them have positive ER/PR status. As outcomes have not improved comparatively, there is a need to evolve separate guidelines for MBC.
