Abstract:
Male breast cancer accounts for less than 1% of all breast cancer cases. The important risk factors for the development of male breast cancer are family history, genetic mutations, obesity, liver disease, alcoholism, exogenous estrogen administration, and radiation exposure to the chest area. Despite its rarity, numerous studies have investigated the data on imaging considerations (mammogram, ultrasound, and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)), but have addressed only certain aspects of male breast cancer. A comprehensive approach on the imaging characteristics, timing of imaging, prognostication based on imaging characteristics, and follow-up strategies in male breast cancer are still lacking. The purpose of this review article was to provide a comprehensive overview of the imaging findings, optimal timing to obtain imaging, and the appropriate follow-up strategies in male breast cancer survivors. This article also describes how imaging modalities can aid in determining prognosis. By addressing this knowledge gap, the article provides valuable insights for clinicians managing this uncommon yet clinically significant disease.
摘要:
男性乳腺癌占所有乳腺癌病例的不到1%。男性乳腺癌发生发展的重要危险因素是家族史,基因突变,肥胖,肝病,酗酒,外源性雌激素给药,和胸部区域的辐射暴露。尽管它很罕见,许多研究已经调查了成像考虑因素的数据(乳房X线照片,超声,和磁共振成像(MRI)),但只涉及男性乳腺癌的某些方面。关于成像特性的综合方法,成像的定时,基于成像特征的预测,男性乳腺癌的随访策略仍然缺乏。这篇综述文章的目的是提供对影像学发现的全面概述,获得成像的最佳时机,以及男性乳腺癌幸存者的适当随访策略。本文还描述了成像方式如何帮助确定预后。通过解决这一知识差距,这篇文章为临床医生治疗这种罕见但具有临床意义的疾病提供了有价值的见解.
