Breast cancer is commonly associated with women, but it can also affect men—although it accounts for less than 1% of all breast cancer cases. Mr. Rasipal Singh, a resident of Aligarh, experienced this rare condition when he noticed a small lump in his breast.

Following medical evaluation, he was diagnosed with breast cancer in 2021. He underwent surgery at another hospital and initially responded well to treatment. However, within a few months, follow-up investigations revealed that the cancer had recurred and spread to his spine (backbone), making the disease more complex and challenging to treat.

Despite receiving treatment at multiple hospitals, his condition showed limited improvement, prompting his family to seek advanced cancer care.

Finding Hope at Ujala Cygnus Amritdhara My Hospital

Determined to find the right treatment, Mr. Singh's family travelled nearly

300 kilometres from Aligarh to Karnal

After a comprehensive evaluation of his disease progression, previous treatment history, and overall health condition, Dr. Bashir developed a personalised treatment strategy based on the latest advances in precision oncology.

Personalised Precision Cancer Therapy

Considering that the cancer had become resistant to conventional hormonal therapies, Dr. Umar Bashir recommended

Elacestrant

The treatment was initiated under close medical supervision, with continuous monitoring of the patient's response.

Positive Clinical Outcome

Since starting the personalised treatment plan, Mr. Singh has shown encouraging clinical improvement. His disease is being effectively managed, and his overall health and quality of life have improved significantly under expert oncology care.

The case demonstrates how modern precision medicine can offer new hope even in complex and recurrent cancer cases where conventional treatments have failed.

"Mr. Rasipal Singh's journey is a powerful reminder that cancer treatment has evolved significantly. Today, precision oncology enables us to customise treatment according to the unique characteristics of a patient's disease. In carefully selected patients with advanced breast cancer that has become resistant to conventional hormonal therapy, medicines such as Elacestrant can provide a promising and effective treatment option. Equally important are the patient's determination, family support, and timely access to specialist care."

He further added that

male breast cancer, though rare, should never be ignored.
