Male breast cancer is a rare disease. There are limited data to inform optimal treatment and follow-up strategies in this population. Currently, most follow-up guidelines are drawn from the vast literature on female breast cancer, despite the fact that male breast cancer has unique biological characteristics. In this review, we discuss clinical characteristics of male breast cancer as well as current best practices for long-term care with a focus on surveillance, screening, and treatment-related symptom management in male breast cancer survivors.
男性乳腺癌是一种罕见的疾病。在这一人群中,关于最佳治疗和随访策略的数据有限。目前,大多数随访指南都是从大量关于女性乳腺癌的文献中得出的,尽管男性乳腺癌具有独特的生物学特征。在这篇综述中,我们讨论了男性乳腺癌的临床特征以及目前长期护理的最佳实践,重点是男性乳腺癌幸存者的监测、筛查和与治疗相关的症状管理。
