Cancer of the Male Breast

Arthur I. Holleb M.D.1

1 Associate Medical Director, and Assistant Attending Surgeon, Memorial Hospital for Cancer and Allied Diseases, New York City.

In summary, although cancer of the male breast accounts for about 1% of all breast cancer, early diagnosis and prompt surgical therapy will give respectable cure rates. The presence of a mass in the male breast in a patient over the age of 20 should alert the physician to the possibility of cancer. When there is any suspicion that the breast mass may not be a simple case of gynecomastia, a biopsy should be performed without delay.
