description

Many cases of male breast cancer (MBC) have been diagnosed during recent years. The increased incidence of such a mortal disease has pointed out the need for solid and well-defined protocols in order to obtain early diagnosis, effective treatment, as well as a greater long-term survival. Although many similarities with female breast cancer support similar diagnostic and therapeutic paths, recent findings about MBC cell phenotypes and tumor behavior support the need for a more customized ai, t, i, ar. One thing is though sure: nowadays lack of knowledge about MBC needs to stimulate further research and the introduction of more standardized and univocal diagnostic/therapeutic guidelines.
