ObjectiveTo summarize the progress of diagnosis and treatment in male breast cancer. MethodsThe literatures about the research progress of diagnosis and treatment in male breast cancer were reviewed. ResultsThe diagnosis of male breast cancer relied mainly on clinical manifestations and imaging manifestations, the main treatment of male breast cancer was modified radical operation, combining with radiotherapy, chemotherapy, endocrine therapy, and targeted therapy. ConclusionsThe treatment of male breast cancer is mainly reference the treatment of female breast cancer, which is lack of a clear standard of treatment. Indepth study on the molecular genetic level will provide more accurate care decisions for the treatment of male breast cancer.
ObjectiveTo summarize the research progress of the cause, treatment, and other aspects in male breast cancer (MBC). MethodsThrough reading the related literatures, relevant literatures of MBC were reviewed. ResultsFamily history, BRCA1/2 mutation, the imbalance of level of estrogen and androgen, and other factors were risk factors of the MBC. Sentinel lymph node biopsy (SLNB) was feasible in the MBC. Radiotherapy could control local recurrence of MBC, and chemotherapy may be beneficial for long-term survival rate of MBC. The endocrine therapy principle for MBC was not exact as female breast cancer (FBC). ConclusionsMBC has many risk factors. Radiotherapy, chemotherapy, and endocrine therapy are benefit to MBC patients, but it still needs to be confirmed by many high-quality clinical researches of large sample.
