ABSTRACT
Foundation: male breast cancer is considered as a
medical rarity, because differently from the female one
which is health problem worldwide, this one only
represents 0.5 to 1 % of the total diagnosed breast
cancers.
Objective: to characterize the behaviour of male
breast cancer in the Cienfuegos province.
Method: 36 year descriptive cross section study from
January 1st to December 31st 2015. The total of
patients operated in this period were 19, representing
the 100 %, they were intervened in the General Surgery
Service of the General University Hospital "Dr. Gustavo
Aldereguía Lima" of Cienfuegos. The studied variables
were: age, affected breast, anatomic location,
histological type, biopsy modality used, clinical stage of
tumours in the case of carcinomas, surgical technique
applied in each patient and their evolution. A model for
data collection was created and applied to each patient
and clinical records and biopsy protocols were reviewed
from the pathological anatomy department of the
hospital. The information is shown in tables of number
and percentages.
Results: male breast cancer represented 0.8 % of the
total of breast cancers operated during the studied
period, in addition its detection in advanced clinical
stages was corroborated.
Conclusion: the increase of the incidence of this
disease in the last decade in the Cienfuegos province,
demands establishing mechanisms for its early
detection.
