English
male breast cancerdefinition: rare cancer in the male breast. The symptoms and diagnostic procedures are similar to those for breast cancer in women. The standard treatment is tamoxifen. Mastectomy may be used if initial drug therapy is not successful. Two-thirds of patients suffer ductal breast carcinoma in situ but there are also occurrences of inflammatory carcinoma and Paget's disease of the breast. The prognosis is worse than that for females. This type of cancer occurs in middle-aged and older males in developed countries, the incidence being about 1% of that in females. (en)

Spanish
cáncer de mama masculinodefinition: cáncer poco frecuente que se origina en la mama masculina. Tanto sus síntomas como los procedimientos para su diagnóstico son los propios del cáncer de mama femenino. El tamoxifeno es el tratamiento estándar. Si la quimioterapia inicial no es eficaz, se procederá a la mastectomía. Dos de cada tres pacientes presentan un carcinoma ductal mamario in situ, aunque también pueden padecer carcinoma inflamatorio y enfermedad de Paget mamaria. Tiene un pronóstico peor que la forma femenina de cáncer de mama. El cáncer de mama masculino se da entre varones de países desarrollados en edad madura, siendo su incidencia del 1% en comparación con la variante femenina del cáncer de mama. (es)
