Abstract

The purpose of this review was to explore the prognosis and prognostic factors for male breast cancer in depth and to discuss the survivorship issues which are seldom discussed in literature. Search in Medline and Google Scholar for male breast cancer epidemiology, prognosis, and survivorship resulted in tremendous number of articles discussing the epidemiology of male breast cancer, but limited number of articles discussed survivorship issues within the context of other subjects. The prognosis of male breast cancer is dependent on the lymph nodes status and disease stage. Survivorship issues are as important as treatment of the cancer itself. The risk of the male contra lateral breast cancer is much higher than in the female breast cancer, so the patients should be aware of the necessity of close follow up. The long term effects of treatment are variable, but most of them are potentially curable.
