For a variety of reasons, men's treatment for breast cancer may be delayed until the cancer has reached an advanced stage. Men are unlikely to regularly examine their breasts. When men notice symptoms, they tend to delay seeing a physician. Diagnosis and treatment of men's breast cancer is similar to that for women's breast cancer. Surgical treatment may be followed by radiation and chemotherapy.
Hormone therapy is another treatment option.
Ablative hormone therapy, in which hormone glands are surgically removed, may be used in some cases.
