Little is known about the causes of death in MBC because of the small sample size of most studies. This study aimed to investigate the causes of death in MBC patients.Patients and Methods: MBC patient data were obtained from the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results database (1975– 2016). Time trends of MBC mortality in the US population were analyzed using Joinpoint software. We calculated the proportion of each cause of death in the overall cohort and in different patient subgroups. Competing risk models were used to calculate cumulative mortality at different follow-up times. The risk of cardiovascular death (CVD) in MBC patients was compared to that of the age-matched general population by calculating standardized mortality ratio (SMR).Results: In total, 6426 patients were included in the analysis. MBC mortality rate increased between 2004 and 2019 (annual percentage change=1.16, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 0.50, 1.80). There were 1757 patients (27.3%) who died of non-breast cancer causes. CVD was the leading cause of death in patients who were elderly or had localized disease. MBC patients had a 6.58-fold higher risk of CVD than the general population (SMR=6.58, 95% CI: 6.14, 7.05).Conclusion: Non-breast cancer death accounts for the majority of deaths in MBC patients who are elderly or have localized cancer. Compared to the general population, MBC patients have an increased risk of CVD. These results highlight the importance of monitoring cardiovascular comorbidities in MBC patients.Keywords: male breast cancer, cardio-oncology, elderly patients, cause of death, non cancer death, cardiovascular deathZhang HLin WChen DWang KTu WLin HLi KYe SGuan TChen YDove Medical Pressarticlebreast cancer in maleselderly patientscause of deathnon cancer deathcardiovascular deathGeriatricsRC952-954.6ENClinical Interventions in Aging, Vol Volume 16, Pp 1393-1401 (2021)
