Male breast cancer (MBC) accounts for around 1% of all breast cancers diagnosed. There are inconsistent reports on the incidence of MBC which some propose may be rising. Here, for the first time, the incidence of MBC in Scotland over 25 years from 1992 to 2017 was examined through interrogating the Information Services Division Scotland database. Results showed MBC incidence rose with age, peaking in the 65-70 and 75-79 age groups. Both the total number and the age-adjusted incidence of MBC increased in Scotland since 1992. This rising trend was most clear in the North of Scotland. Interestingly a higher MBC incidence in some rural areas was also observed. Our findings emphasise the need for a better understanding of MBC risk factors so that improved prevention policies can be applied for patient benefit.
男性乳腺癌（MBC）约占所有乳腺癌诊断的 1%。MBC 的发病率报告不一致，有人提出发病率可能在上升。在这里，我们首次通过查询苏格兰信息服务部数据库，检查了 1992 年至 2017 年 25 年来苏格兰 MBC 的发病率。结果表明，MBC 的发病率随年龄增长而上升，在 65-70 岁和 75-79 岁年龄组达到峰值。自 1992 年以来，苏格兰 MBC 的总人数和年龄调整发病率均有所增加。这种上升趋势在苏格兰北部最为明显。有趣的是，一些农村地区的 MBC 发病率也较高。我们的研究结果强调了需要更好地了解 MBC 的危险因素，以便为患者利益制定更好的预防政策。
