The role of postoperative radiation therapy in stage I-III male breast cancer: A population-based study from the surveillance, epidemiology, and End Results database.

ABSTRACT:

Background

This study aimed to investigate the role of postoperative radiation therapy in a large population-based cohort of patients with stage I-III male breast cancer (MaBC).

Methods

Patients with stage I-III breast cancer treated with surgery were selected from the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results cancer database from 2010 to 2015. Multivariate logistic regression identified the predictors of radiation therapy administration. Multivariate Cox regression model was used to evaluate the predictors of survival.
