Abstract
Breast cancer is the commonest cancer among Indian females. Tumour size, lymph node, grade, vascular invasion, Estrogen receptor Progesterone receptor (ER PR) and HER2neu receptor expression are important both prognostically and in deciding therapy.
Materials and Methods: 52 operated breast cancer patients of North Bengal region with complete history and staging were studied. Clinical profile (menopausal status, tumour size, stage, lymph nodes), pathologic findings (histological type, grade, skin/nipple areola involvement, LVI, perineural spread, lymph node status) and ER PR status were correlated.
Results: Most patients presented at late stage with more than 5 cm tumour often with lymph node metastasis. Commonest age group was 45-54 years, majority were postmenopausal and most tumours were histological grade 2. Positive ER/PR status was observed in 57.69% cases and ER/PR status correlated significantly with clinicopathological parameters.
Keywords: Breast cancer, Clinicopathological parameters, ER PR status.
