Abstract
Introduction:
Male breast cancer (MBC) accounts for 0.5%-1% of all breast cancers diagnosed worldwide.
However, its biological characteristics can be distinguished from that of female breast cancer (FBC)
Case Representation:
The diagnostic and treatment approaches for MBC are mainly similar to that of FBC due to the
lack of male breast cancer-related studies, clinical trials, and literature. An increasing number of retrospective and
prospective studies have been conducted to clarify the individualized care for MBC. Herein, we report three cases of
advanced MBC to describe the diagnostic approaches, treatment process, and survival prognosis.
Conclusion:
MBC patients had older age, later stage at first diagnosis, higher expression of hormone receptors, and
poor prognosis. A literature review was conducted to determine the incidence, risk factors, disease features, diagnosis,
treatment, survival, and management of MBC.
