Abstract :

Breast cancer is the most common cancer in women in India. Hormone receptor status with ER/PR and HER2neu is routinely done in patients with east cancer. We have done a single institutional retrospective study with the aim to evaluate ER/PR and HER2neu receptor status in east cancer patients at the State Cancer Institute in Northeast India. Data of total 120 cases were collected for a period of one year. Breast cancer is common in middle age group of rural area in premenopausal women with Infiltrating ductal carcinoma the commonest histological type. Our data shows 45 % were positive for ER, 37.5% for PR and 27.5% for HER2neu. Triple negative constitute about 34.16%. Hormone receptor positive status in east cancers is low as observed in our study when compared to west but comparable to other studies done over Indian population. Triple–negative east cancer is prevalent in a large proportion of patients in Northeast India
