Audio Journal of Oncology Podcast

CHICAGO—Men who had breast-conserving therapy (BCT) including radiation for their early breast cancer lived longer than those who had total or partial mastectomy—with or without radiation—in findings from a large retrospective survey of male breast cancer reported at the 2018 Annual Meeting of the American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO).

In a poster presentation at ASCO Sarah Bateni MD, a surgery resident at the University of California Davis Medical Center in Sacramento, reported survival outcomes from an analysis of National Cancer Database (NCDB) records of 11,406 men who had stage one, two or three breast cancer between the years 2004 and 2015. She discusses the findings with the Audio Journal of Oncology in the company of her colleague, Candice A. M.
