[Male breast cancer. Five years experience and literature review].
Male breast cancer is an uncommon disease and its aetiology, clinical behaviour and treatment is not well-known . Retrospective studies show that age and stage-matched breast cancer in men and women are compared. Nevertheless, the poor mammary tissue in man allow a rapid local infiltration, late diagnosis and poor survival rate. The Authors report their five years experience and with a short literature review they summarise what is currently known about this uncommon neoplasm in terms of prognostic factors, therapy and survival.
