Abstract Ten cases of male breast carcinoma are reviewed. Male patients with breast cancer on the average are 10 years older than females, and they delay twice as long as females after noting a breast mass before seeking medical attention. Because of this patient's delay, male breast cancer tends to be more advanced at the time of diagnosis and initial therapy than female breast cancer.
