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).
