description

Breast cancer in men (BCiM) is a very rare disease that is still understudied and most of the published data comes from small cohorts of patients, compared to breast cancer in women. Genetic factors are among the most clearly established risk factors for male breast cancer, and mainly involve BRCA1 and BRCA2 tumor-suppressor genes.
