Abstract:
Aside from its much lower frequency, breast cancer in men is remarkably similar to the disease in women. The cause remains equally obscure; the clinical presentation, pathology, and natural history are similar; and men are probably as curable in similar circumstances. Men are generally older and in more advanced stages than women when diagnosed, the tumors are located more often beneath the nipple and are more often responsive to hormonal therapy, but otherwise differences are negligible. Stage and axillary node status are strong prognostic indicators. Modified radical mastectomy has replaced radical mastectomy for surgical treatment of early states, and systemic adjuvant therapy appears to improve the prognosis for cases with involvement of lymph nodes.

Cancer-Critical Genes I: Proto-oncogenes
When the function of certain critical genes, especially those involved in cell cycle regulation and cell growth signaling cascades, gets disrupted, it upsets the cell cycle progression. Such cells with unchecked cell cycles start proliferating uncontrollably and eventually develop into tumors.
