Abstract
The data on histological and hormone receptor status in breast cancer in an Indian population is limited as receptor status is not routinely carried out for these patients. In our study, receptor status was analyzed and it was correlated with morphological prognostic parameters. The objective is to analyze the morphological prognostic parameters and its correlation with receptor status in Indian women. The sample consisted of 66 specimens of invasive breast cancer received in Department Of Pathology of SVS Medical College and Hospital, Mahabubnagar between year 2012 and 2014. ER, PR and HER-2 status correlates well with histopathological grading. Higher the tumor grade, the more likely that ductal carcinoma will be Her2 + and ER/PR negative or triple negative. Follow up study of these patients is needed to assess the prognostic significance.
