Aim: This study aimed to characterize a cohort of male patients with non-metastatic breast cancer, specifically focusing on tumor characteristics, treatment strategies, and determinants of overall survival.
Methods: Data for this study were obtained from the Baden-Württemberg Cancer Registry, encompassing male patients diagnosed with breast cancer between 2015 and 2023. A total of 470 patient records were included.
Medical advancements in breast cancer are truly remarkable. Especially in recent years, numerous new therapeutics have been approved and surgical strategies have been de-escalated for specific patient groups. In the therapeutic setting, CDK4/6 inhibitors as oral maintenance therapy in early breast cancer and immune checkpoint inhibitors (Pembrolizumab) for triple-negative breast cancer (BC) are noteworthy.

The aim was to find the necessary conditions in a greenhouse to determine the maximum content of secondary metabolites, as higher levels in fruits can promote human health. For this, we defined multiple classification tasks and derived suitable classification function.

Methods: All breast cancer cases from the past 10 years ( = 3230) that underwent treatment at the certified Breast Cancer Center of the Department of Gynecology and Obstetrics, University Hospital Schleswig-Holstein, Lübeck Campus, were analyzed.
Results: Of a total of 2038 patients with HR+ HER2- eBC, 685 patients (33.
