Objective:
To evaluate the diagnosis and treatment of male breast carcinoma.
Methods:
Thirty-two male breast carcinoma cases were studied. The median age was fifty-four years old. The diagnosis, treatment and prognosis for male breast carcinoma were studied.
Results:
Clinical stage of the patients: I, 7 patients; II, 17 patients; III, 7 patients; IV, 1 patient. Of the 32 carcinomas, 31 patients had mass in the breast. Positive lymph nodes were found in 57.1% of the patients. The 5-year survival rate was 65.6% for all patients, 68.4% for patients undergone radical mastectomy, 66.7% for those undergone modified radical mastectomy and 57.1% for the others.
Conclusion:
The optimal treatment for male breast carcinoma is modified radical mastectomy combined with radiotherapy, chemotherapy and endocrine therapy.
