Breast cancer is a rare disease in men representing nearly 1% of the total breast cancer cases worldwide. While treatments developed for women with breast cancer are often applied to treat men with breast cancer, however, lack of awareness of this disease leads to its detection at a later stage in men. This review discusses male breast cancer and draws comparisons with female breast cancer and discusses current treatments available to treat this disease. It is believed that this review shall provide concise and relevant information increasing the awareness of issues revolving around male breast cancer (MBC).
男性乳腺癌是一种罕见疾病，占全球乳腺癌病例总数的近1%。虽然针对女性乳腺癌研发的治疗方法通常也用于治疗男性乳腺癌，但对这种疾病缺乏认识导致男性患者在较晚阶段才被发现。这篇综述讨论了男性乳腺癌，并与女性乳腺癌进行了比较，还探讨了目前可用于治疗这种疾病的方法。相信这篇综述将提供简洁且相关的信息，提高人们对围绕男性乳腺癌（MBC）相关问题的认识。
