title: [Carcinoma of the male breast. Prognostic factors and outcome of surgical treatment].
abstract: A retrospective study was made on 18 male patients with breast carcinoma treated at the Department of Surgery "Pietro Valdoni" of the University "La Sapienza" of Rome, Medical School. Demographics, pathology, stages, and treatment were determined from clinical reports. All patients but one underwent modified radical mastectomy. The length of follow up averaged 57.5 months. Five years actuarial survival rate was 62%. In the current study the Authors suggest that the clinical, prognostic and treatment features of breast carcinoma in men are similar to those reported in literature for post-menopausal women.
