Abstract
41 male patients with breast cancer confirmed pathologically were treated. Of these, 35 were treated by radical mastectomy and 6 by modified radical mastectomy. The patients with axillary lymphatic metastasis were treated by postoperative radiotherapy, chemotherapy. The overall 5-, 10- and 15-year survival rates were 67.6%, 53.3% and 55.0%, respectively. The 15 year survival rates of TNM stage I-II and III patients were 55% and 50% respectively. We conclude that radical or modified radical mastectomy is the rational therapy for male breast cancer. The patients in stage III will benefit from postoperative adjuvant therapy in terms of improving prognosis.
