Male Breast Cancer

Breast cancer in men is rare, often misunderstood, and frequently under-diagnosed. In this fully updated 2nd Edition, Harvard and Sydney University-trained radiation oncologist and breast cancer specialist Professor John Boyages AM guides men and their families through every step of diagnosis, treatment, and recovery.

Drawing on over forty years of clinical experience and hundreds of patient stories, this book explains:

• How to choose between surgery, radiotherapy, hormone therapy, chemotherapy, and newer targeted drugs
• Ways to prevent and manage lymphoedema
• Emotional, sexual, and body-image issues after treatment
• What to expect from follow-up and survivorship care

New in this edition:
• Latest research on CDK4/6 inhibitors, immunotherapy, and genetics
• Updates in radiation therapy and endocrine management
• Expanded advice on survivorship, exercise, and wellbeing

Written in plain English and filled with compassion, Male Breast Cancer: Taking Control empowers men with knowledge, confidence, and hope.
