Despite evidence that early-stage male breast cancer (MBC) can be treated the same as in females, we hypothesized that men undergo more extensive surgery.
Patients with clinical T1-2 breast cancer were identified in the National Cancer Database 2004-2016. Trends in surgery type and overall survival were compared between sexes.
Of 9,782 males and 1,078,105 females, most were cN0 with AJCC stage I/II disease. Unilateral mastectomy was most common in men (67.1% vs. 24.1%, p < 0.001) and partial mastectomy in women (64.7% vs. 26.4%, p < 0.001), with no significant change over time. Over 1/3 of men received ALND in 2016. While overall survival was superior in females (HR 0.83, 95% CI 0.73-0.94, p = 0.003), partial mastectomy was associated with a 42% reduction in mortality risk for males (HR 0.58, 95% CI 0.4-0.8, p = 0.003).
De-escalation of surgery could be considered for MBC to improve survival and align with current standards of care.
尽管有证据表明早期男性乳腺癌(MBC)可以与女性一样进行治疗,但我们假设男性会接受更广泛的手术。
在 2004 年至 2016 年的国家癌症数据库中确定了临床 T1-2 期乳腺癌患者。比较了男女之间手术类型和总体生存率的趋势。
在 9782 名男性和 1078105 名女性中,大多数患者为 cN0 期且 AJCC 分期为 I/II 期疾病。单侧乳房切除术在男性中最为常见(67.1% vs. 24.1%,p<0.001),部分乳房切除术在女性中最为常见(64.7% vs. 26.4%,p<0.001),且随着时间的推移没有明显变化。超过 1/3 的男性在 2016 年接受了 ALND。尽管女性的总体生存率更高(HR 0.83,95%CI 0.73-0.94,p=0.003),但部分乳房切除术可使男性的死亡率降低 42%(HR 0.58,95%CI 0.4-0.8,p=0.003)。
可以考虑对 MBC 进行手术降级,以提高生存率并与当前的护理标准保持一致。
