Demographics, Tumor Biology and Treatment Outcomes of Male Breast Cancer Patients From a Tertiary Cancer Center in North India: A Real-World Study.
Article in Cureus, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
backgroundMale breast cancer (MBC) is a rare malignancy, and treatment recommendations are largely extrapolated from female breast cancer data. Real-world evidence from India remains limited.
objectiveThe objective of this study is to evaluate the demographic, clinicopathological, treatment, and survival characteristics of MBC patients treated at a tertiary cancer center in India.
methodsThis retrospective real-world study included MBC patients treated between January 2012 and January 2024. Demographic, clinicopathological, treatment, and outcome data were analyzed using descriptive statistics and Kaplan-Meier survival estimates.
resultsA total of 107 patients were included. The median age at diagnosis was 62 years (range: 26-82). Left-sided disease was slightly more common (51.4%), and invasive ductal carcinoma was the predominant histology (88.8%). Eighteen patients (16.8%) presented with advanced/metastatic disease. Hormone receptor positivity was high, with estrogen receptor, progesterone receptor, and human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 positivity rates of 88.5%, 89.1%, and 7.7%, respectively. Modified radical mastectomy was the most common surgical procedure (75.6%). At a median follow-up of 27.9 months, the median overall survival was 111.7 months.
conclusionMBC in this study was characterized by a substantial proportion of patients presenting with advanced disease and high hormone receptor positivity. Greater awareness and earlier diagnosis may improve outcomes in this rare malignancy.
