Demographics, Characteristics and Outcomes of Male Breast Cancer Patients at Methodist Health System

To determine the number of MBC cases as well as the demographics, characteristics, and outcomes of MBC patients at Methodist Health System (MHS).

Male breast cancer (MBC) is a rare disease without sufficient clinical data supporting the management and treatment. The treatment of MBC arises from data extrapolated from female breast cancer (FBC). MBC has higher mortality than FBC. Previous studies have suggested differences between MBC and FBC; however, treatments remain the same for both. Larger studies in MBC are needed to provide more clinical data to help guide treatment.
