An analysis of 29 chemotherapeutic trials in 18 male patients with advanced
breast cancer disclosed an overall response rate of 44%. Most of these
chemotherapeutic trials consisted of single-agent regimens, namely,
fluorouracil, methotrexate, thiotepa, cyclophosphamide, and melphalan. Our
data suggest that responsiveness of advanced male breast cancer to systemic
chemotherapeutic agents is the same as that reported for advanced female
breast cancer.
