Abstract

The series of cancers of the male breast encountered in Alessandria Hospital in 1981-85 is reported. Estrogen-progestin receptor assays were performed on all patients with results in line with reports in the literature and were used as the basis for the selection of adjuvant post-operative treatment. The good early results appear to confirm the validity of this approach.
