Male Triple-Negative Breast Cancer

Male breast cancer is a rarely encountered disease, when compared with female breast cancer, often detected in more advanced stage at the time of diagnosis, and associated with more lymph node metastasis rates, more estrogen receptors positivity, and less human epidermal growth factor receptor-2 expression (HER-2) rates. Surgical management also shows some difference, where the most common operative technique of male breast cancer patients is mastectomy and/or axillary surgery. Triple-negative breast cancer is less frequent than other subtypes and is associated with poorer prognosis. This is because of its association with higher histopathological grade than that in other types of breast cancer. Only fewer treatment options are available compared to hormone-positive, HER-2 positive breast cancer. We are present a case of 71-year-old gentleman with triple-negative breast cancer.
