[Male breast cancer].
From 1974 till 1993, 9 patients have been treated in our Hospital for a breast cancer. Compared with the amount of women breast cancers treated, actually near 300 per year, this 0.3% figure seems small, and is lower than that found in the literature (1%). The therapeutic attitude is the same as that proposed for women. The follow-up varied from 9 to 120 months with a mean of 57. Five patients are actually still living without recurrence. One patient presented a local recurrence, one was lost sight off and two died from their cancer. Despite the fact that it was a small group of patients we can say that the symptoms, the clinical staging, the proposed treatments and the survival rate are the same as found in the literature.
