Research into treatments for breast cancer in men is ongoing. Cancer doctors use clinical trials  to assess new treatments. Before any trial is allowed to take place an ethics committee must have approved it to ensure that the trial is in the interest of patients.

You may be asked to take part in a clinical trial. Your doctor must discuss the treatment with you, so that you have a full understanding of the trial and what it involves. You may decide not to take part, or withdraw from a trial at any stage. You will then receive the best standard treatment available.
