A study conducted by Vanderbilt University found that men with breast cancer are 19 percent more likely to die as a result of complications from the disease.
"[ER-positive breast cancer] is a cancer type where patients usually fare better because we have a hormonal treatment," according to Xiao-Ou Shu, senior author of the study."We have a lot of treatment options for that type of breast cancer. In theory, men should have better outcomes and have lower mortality as women do if the treatment is equally effective."
More research needs to be conducted to determine the precise cause of this trend, Shu said. Prior studies indicated that men tend to be less compliant with hormonal treatments than women. Further, factors such as smoking, drinking and a sedentary lifestyle may also be what makes men more susceptible to death from breast cancer.
Detail of breast cancer cells. Cancer Research U.K. and Public Health England have established a data collection program for all breast cancers diagnosed in England.Shu also suggested that there may be some yet unknown biological difference between ER-positive breast cancer in male and female patients.This year, about 2,670 men in the United States are expected to be diagnosed with breast cancer, according to.
