Abstract :

 Background: Breast is one of the most common cause of death in women. Earlier diagnosis and treatment with appropriate therapy based on hormonal status leads to a reduction in mortality rate. The aim of this study is to assess the hormone receptor status in east carcinomas and to compare them with other clinical and pathological parameters. Materials and methods: This retrospective descriptive study was conducted in Department of Pathology, Kilpauk Medical College, Chennai for a period of 2 years. A total of 73 cases were studied and IHC was done for 55 cases. ER, PR status of patients were studied and compared with other parameters. Results: Majority of  cases were in postmenopausal women. Clinical stage 2 and histological grade 2 cases were more in number. There was significant correlation between clinical staging and NPI sore and between tumor grade and ER, PR status. Conclusion: ER, PR status has significant correlation with histological grading but does not have significant correlation with clinical staging. So, irrespective staging and other clinical parameters hormonal studies should be conducted in all cases to reduce mortality and recurrences.
