Abstract
Eighty-seven cases of male breast cancer seen over a 30-year period were reviewed. The overall observed and corrected five-year survival rates of 42% and 53% correspond well with the results in other series. Factors predicting disease-free interval and survival included size of primary lesion, ipsilateral axillary status, and presence of ulceration, which appear to be similar to those observed for female breast cancer. Eighteen patients (21%) had a second primary tumor (seven with cutaneous malignancies) and were of an older age group with a higher incidence of positive family history of breast cancer as well as other tumors. The overall prognosis of breast cancer in males does not appear to be less favorable than that in females. Cancer 44:748-754, 1979.This publication has 16 references indexed in Scilit:
