摘要
Because of the rarity of male breast cancer (MBC) many men are unaware that the disease exists. This leads both to delay in presentation and severe distress after diagnosis concerning loss of masculinity and fear about the future. The informational and emotional support needs of men with breast cancer are often not met and many will have undiagnosed and untreated psychological morbidity. There is a pressing need for collaboration and the setting up national networks to improve both the treatment and quality of life of men with breast cancer.
