University of Colorado Cancer Center researchers used data from 4,276 cases of male breast cancer and 718,587 cases of female breast cancer to show that the disease is treated differently in men than in women.

Results are published in this month's issue of the International Journal of Radiation Oncology, Biology and Physics.
