Stakeholders' experiences and perceptions of male breast cancer:A qualitative evidence synthesis

CONCLUSIONS: The gender stigma that exists at the patient, healthcare system, and family-society levels largely influences the experiences of the male breast cancer stakeholder population. To address gender inequalities in breast cancer care, healthcare organizations and society at large should remain equally attentive to the needs of male and female breast cancer patients. These needs include reducing healthcare and social stigma, providing gender-specific information and emotional support, and access to support groups.PMID:38417232 | DOI:10.1016/j.breast.2024.103694
