Because of the rarity of male breast cancer (MBC) many men are unaware that the disease exists. This leads both to delay in presentation and severe distress after diagnosis concerning loss of masculinity and fear about the future. The informational and emotional support needs of men with breast cancer are often not met and many will have undiagnosed and untreated psychological morbidity. There is a pressing need for collaboration and the setting up national networks to improve both the treatment and quality of life of men with breast cancer.
由于男性乳腺癌（MBC）的罕见性，许多男性不知道这种疾病的存在。这导致了诊断后的男性在失去男子气概和对未来的恐惧方面出现了延迟和严重的困扰。患有乳腺癌的男性的信息和情感支持需求往往得不到满足，许多人将患有未确诊和未经治疗的心理疾病。迫切需要合作和建立国家网络，以改善男性乳腺癌患者的治疗效果和生活质量。
