[Male breast cancer: experience with 42 cases].
Data were collected on 42 men with breast cancer treated at department of surgery, cancer hospital in Shanghai between 1960 to 1996. We studied several clinical features and the importance of established prognostic factors. Observation for 76 months showed the 5 year survival rate was 57.1%, and the total survival was 64.3%. Prognostic indicator analysis showed that only axillary lymph node status proved to have a prognostic impact. Tumor size, age did not show any prognostic influence. Because of less cases, we can not use Cox's regression model to do multivariate analysis.
