Abstract P5-23-01: Clinical and biological characterization of male breast cancer (BC) EORTC 10085/TBCRC 029/BOOG 2013-02/BIG 2-07: Baseline results from the prospective registry

BACKGROUND: Through the International Male Breast Cancer Program, a prospective registry for male BC was created with the goals of evaluating 1) the clinical and biological features of this disease and 2) assessing feasibility of a prospective therapeutic clinical trial. METHODS: All men, with any stage histologically proven invasive breast cancer, age 3 18 years, and newly presenting at the participating institutions (within 3 months prior) were eligible. Patients were enrolled for 30 months after activation of the first center, through February 2017. Per the study design, if RESULTS: 557 patients were enrolled: 75% in Europe, 20% in United States, 5% in other countries. 6.3% of patients had missing forms. Median age was 67 years (range 26-92). 93% were diagnosed 2010-2017. Among patients with complete data, 79% presented with a breast mass. 88% were M0 and 12% M1. Among M0 patients: 47%, 39%, 2%, and 11% had T1, T2, T3, and T4 disease respectively; 52% were N0. Overall, 98% had ER+ disease and 11% had HER2+ cancer. 14% had grade 1, 56% had grade 2, and 30% had grade 3 tumors. Among 112 men who underwent BRCA1 testing, 1 was positive. Among 118 men who had BRCA2 testing, 18 (15%) were positive. 21% of men had prior or concurrent malignancies, with the following most common sites: prostate, non-melanoma skin, colorectal, and melanoma. The prevalence of previously identified possible risk factors for male breast cancer were: overweight/obesity (72%), former/current smoker (51%), current alcohol 31 drink daily (41%), family history of breast cancer (35%), gynecomastia (16%), history radiation exposure (8%), use of anti-androgens (1%), and use of estrogens (1%). CONCLUSION: Through an international collaborative effort, we were able to prospectively accrue 557 patients to a male breast cancer registry. These results demonstrate feasibility of pursuing a therapeutic clinical trial in men with breast cancer. In addition, this study shows the relatively low uptake of BRCA testing, high rates of concurrent/prior malignancy, and the rates of potentially modifiable risk factors in this patient population.
