Marital status as an independent prognostic factor in male breast cancer: a SEER-based cohort study
Marital status is an independent prognostic factor in MBC, with widowed patients experiencing the poorest outcomes. These findings underscore the important role of social and psychological support in cancer prognosis. Integrating psychosocial support programs and patient-centered care approaches into oncological practice can help reduce survival disparities.
