Breast Cancer: Males Mr. Stephen O'Brien To ask the Secretary of State for Health what the incidence of male breast cancer is in each primary care trust area. Angela E. Smith I have been asked to reply. The information requested falls within the responsibility of the UK Statistics Authority. I have asked the Authority to reply. Letter from Karen Dunnell, dated August 2009: As National Statistician, I have been asked to reply to your recent Parliamentary Question asking what the incidence of male breast cancer is in each primary care trust area [290207]. The latest available figures for newly diagnosed cases of cancer (incidence) are for the year 2006. There were 275 newly diagnosed cases of breast cancer in males in England in 2006. Figures are not released for all individual primary care trust areas due to small numbers. Table 1 shows primary care trust areas with three or more newly diagnosed cases of male breast cancer in 2006. There were fewer than three cases in each of the remaining 108 primary care trust areas.
