Abstract
Latest Cancer Research UK figures state that approximately 350 men are diagnosed with breast cancer each year compared to 50,000 women. There are many benefits for patients who participate in Randomised Controlled Trials (RCT), including access to new drugs or interventions before they are available on the NHS. However, males appear to be underrepresented in breast cancer RCTs. Research was carried out to assess the potential reasons and implications of this.
