Would you consider omitting breast radiation in a male with early stage breast cancer who has undergone BCT?
If a male has early stage breast cancer and would otherwise meet criteria for the CALGB or PRIME II trials, would omission of radiation be an option? As far as I know none of the trials looking at omission of radiation included men. Would presence or absence of BRCA positivity influence your decision?
