Abstract

 Breast Cancer is the leading cause of mortality and morbidity in women world-wide. The present study attempts to highlight some of the clinico-pathological features of breast cancer patients seen at a tertiary cancer care center. The parameters studied included age, menopausal status, morphological patterns of tumor, histological grade and stage at presentation. Various predictive imminohistochemical markers like Estrogen (ER), progesterone (PR), human epidermal growth factor receptors (HER2), BRCA I and II were also evaluated. Patients and method: All patients registering for breast cancer treatment from 2003 to 2011 will be evaluated using a specified proforma. Mean and standard deviation and Odds ratios along with 95% confidence intervals were estimated. The statistical analysis was done using Chi2/Fisher’s exact test for proportions.
