Abstract

Breast cancer in men is a relatively an uncommon disease. Reaches one man for every thousand women. Represents less than 1% of all cancers in men and is responsible for 0.1% of cancer mortality in males. Although it is uncommon, some studies have demonstrated an incidence increase of these tumors. Risk factors include hyperestrogenism, age, Jewish ancestry, family history and Klinefelter Syndrome. The data on pathology showed that 90% of tumors are invasive ductal, 80% have estrogen receptors and 80 to 90% progesterone receptor positive. The treatment is extrapolated from female breast cancer studies: surgery, hormone therapy, chemotherapy and radiotherapy, wich are used following the guidelines female.
