Background
- Male breast cancer (BC) accounts for less than 1% of new BC cases annually.
- Androgen receptor (AR), a member of steroid and nuclear receptor superfamily is emerging as an important factor in pathobiology of BC.
- While the estrogen receptor (ER) is well-studied in BC, the role of the AR is less understood, particularly in male patients.
- Here, we aimed to characterize the molecular and immunological features of AR gene expression in male BC.
