“…It is estimated that about 42% of breast cancer in men are diagnosed in stage III or IV and this may be attributed to men not seeking medical attention for breast masses as quickly as women [2]. In addition, the tumor is usually closer to the skin in males with increased likelihood of infiltration of the skin [2].…”

“…Male breast cancer is a rare malignancy that accounts for approximately 1% of all malignancies in men [1,2]. The approximated incidence is 1 in 100,000 and accounts for less than 0.1% in cancerrelated deaths in men [1].…”

“…Conversely, women breast cancer has a bimodal age distribution with early-onset and late-onset peak incidences at 52 and 72 years old, respectively [2]. The median age of diagnosis in men is 65 years old, thus men are diagnosed with breast cancer later than women by 5 to 10 years [2,4].…”

“…Male breast cancer has unimodal age-frequency distribution with peak incidence at age 71 but frequently seen after the age of 60 [1][2][3]. Conversely, women breast cancer has a bimodal age distribution with early-onset and late-onset peak incidences at 52 and 72 years old, respectively [2].…”

Breast cancer in men is rare but carries a poor prognosis. The incidence is increasing but remains less than 1% of all cancer among American men and less than 0.1% mortality. Here, we report an 83-year-old Caucasian male Veteran with high-grade invasive ductal carcinoma of the left breast with solid papillary growth with underlying hematoma after sustaining trauma to the left anterior chest wall. There are no reported cases of this type of growth pattern in the literature.

Breast cancer (BC) is the most common malignancy in women worldwide, and one of the deadliest after lung cancer. Currently, standard methods for cancer therapy including BC are surgery followed by chemotherapy or radiotherapy. However, both chemotherapy and radiotherapy often fail to treat BC due to the side effects that these therapies incur in normal tissues and organs. In recent years, various nanoparticles (NPs) have been discovered and synthesized to be able to selectively target tumor cells without causing any harm to the healthy cells or organs. Therefore, NPs-mediated targeted drug delivery systems (DDS) have become a promising technique to treat BC. In addition to their selectivity to target tumor cells and reduce side effects, NPs have other unique properties which make them desirable for cancer treatment such as low toxicity, good compatibility, ease of preparation, high photoluminescence (PL) for bioimaging in vivo, and high loadability of drugs due to their tunable surface functionalities. In this study, we summarize with a critical analysis of the most recent therapeutic studies involving various NPs-mediated DDS as alternatives for the traditional treatment approaches for BC. It will shed light on the significance of NPs-mediated DDS and serve as a guide to seeking for the ideal methodology for future targeted drug delivery for an efficient BC treatment.

Although rare, breast cancer in males represents 1% of all cancer in men, and has shown increasing incidence in 25 years. To analyze age, gender, type of procedure performed and diagnosis of all cases of breast diseases in a public hospital in Sao Paulo, Brazil, with special focus on men. Cross-sectional study of breast surgery in 2010-2014 at Hospital Municipal Universitario de Sao Bernardo do Campo, Brazil. In the period 999 breast surgery were carried out. Patients with benign diseases were about 30 years old and patients with malignant diseases were over 50. Most surgical procedures performed on men were on the benign condition of gynaecomastia (n=21). The prevalence of breast cancer in the male population attending the public health system in Sao Bernardo was 0.27 (per 100,000). There was a single record of malignant disease in men, a 65 years old man, with histological diagnosis of ductal carcinoma. Surgical pathology of the breast in men is a rare event, and accounts for about 2.4% of mammary surgery in the municipality of São Bernardo do Campo. Awareness is necessary for health professionals and the media, regarding breast pathologies in the male population, to reduce the prejudice in the search for an early diagnosis of a condition so strongly linked to the female for the majority of people.
