Sex-Based Heterogeneity in the Clinicopathological Characteristics and Prognosis of Breast Cancer: A Population-Based Analysis.

Purpose

To better understand the differences in clinicopathological features and prognosis between male breast cancer (MBC) and female breast cancer (FBC).

Material and methods

Data on patients diagnosed with breast cancer from January 1, 2010, to December 31, 2016, were obtained from the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results database. Selected patients were classified into MBC and FBC, of which population demographics and clinicopathological features at baseline were successively extracted for analysis.

Survival analysis was carried out to investigate divergences presented in pro
