| Popis: |
All records of male patients with breast cancer diagnosed in Israel during the 7 yr period of 1960–1966 were reviewed. The mean annual incidence of the disease was 7.8 per million and the female/male ratio 67 : 1, both figures being compatible with incidence rates reported for the U.S. and Western Europe. There was a slight excess of cases among European born immigrants, as compared to those born in Africa and Asia; these differences were not statistically significant, possibly due to the small sample size. It is assumed that ethnic differences in the incidence of the disease are more marked among females than among males. Thirty per cent of the cases were diagnosed within one month after the onset of symptoms but only 50 per cent within 6 months. The estimated 3 yr survival rate was 70 per cent and the 5 yr rate 54.4 per cent. |
