[Male breast cancer].

Only 1% of all breast cancers develop in men, and it accounts for no more than 0.17% of cancer in the male population. In contrast to women with breast cancer, men with breast cancer are older and have more advanced disease. Mastectomy is the mainstay of treatment. Certainly, the dismal prognosis of men with lymph node involvement supports the use of any adjuvant treatment which may improve outcome.
