Article Synopsis
- Breast cancer in men is often ignored and misunderstood due to the dominant perception that it is a women's illness, leading to negative impacts on men's health-seeking behavior and body image.
- The study uses critical health psychology to analyze existing research, revealing that the marginalization of male breast cancer patients creates additional psychological and social challenges beyond the disease itself.
- The findings emphasize the need to reassess the stigma surrounding male breast cancer, recognize the unique experiences of men, and advocate for more inclusive healthcare approaches that consider both male and female perspectives.

The psychological impact of a cancer diagnosis can extend through treatment, well into cancer survivorship and can be influenced by a range of psychosocial resources. At different stages in this trajectory, optimism is known to affect well-being directly. This study focusing upon the potential to flourish after cancer, investigates the relationship between optimism and positive affect during cancer survivorship together with four possible mediators: social support, fighting spirit, internal health locus of control and cancer worry, all of which have been shown to be important predictors of well-being in cancer patients.
