A man in a women's world: development of an online information portal for male breast cancer patients, health care professionals and researchers

摘要

In the Netherlands, approximately 100 new male cases are diagnosed each year versus 14,000 female cases. Male breast cancer (MBC) patients usually receive information material designed for female patients. Furthermore, oncologists, nurses, and general practitioners rarely treat MBC patients. There is a need, from the point of view of the patient, professional, and researcher to create a central - virtual - location with all relevant information about male breast cancer.
