Compared with female breast cancer, male breast cancer (MBC) has an extremely low morbidity, later staging and fewer breast tissues. The lumps are easier to invade in the center and the majority of the cases are positive for metastatic lymph node, with the typical clinical manifestation as a painless mass in partial breast. MBC with an unknown primary tumor is rare and is often prone to misdiag...

PURPOSE As the numbers of cancer cases and survivors increase, the incidence and natural history of chemotherapy-induced cardiotoxicities in patients with breast cancer may also be expected to change. The present study aimed to investigate the incidence and predictors of chemotherapy-induced left ventricular dysfunction (LVD) in patients with breast cancer. METHODS From 2003 to 2010, 712 fema...

Breast cancer has the highest rate of incidence among all types of cancer in women. Only ~0.43% of breast malignancies occur as a result of metastatic lesions from extramammary tumors. The present study reports an extremely rare case of transverse colon cancer metastasizing to the bilateral ovaries and the left breast. The patient was a 47-year old female, who had a lump in the left breast with...
