Abstract
The aim of this study was to determine the risk factors, clinical features and treatment outcomes of Male Breast Cancer (MBC) patients in Saudi Arabia. This retrospective-cohort study was conducted in Princess Nora Oncology Center at King Abdulaziz Medical City in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia. By using consecutive sampling, all male patients who were diagnosed with breast cancer based on the pathology results that were collected from the medical records from January 1998 to December 2017 and treated in Princess Nora Oncology Center at King Abdulaziz Medical City, Jeddah, Saudi Arabia were included in this study. Excel was used to encode all the patients' data, while SPSS was used for the analysis. A descriptive statistic was used to find the minimum, maximum, and mean of age at the time of diagnosis. On the other hand, frequencies and percentages were utilized to summarize all other clinical features of the patients including the pathological type, stage at time of diagnosis, metastasis, risk factors, performance status, treatments and relapse. The mean age of all the 15 patients was 58 +/- 16.5 SD at the time of diagnosis, whereas the maximum was 91 and the minimum was 36. The most predominant type of male breast cancer was Invasive Ductal Carcinoma IDC, which affected 14 patients out of 15 (93.3%).
