Infiltrating ductal carcinoma– not otherwise specified (IDC– NOS) represented 277 cases (82.3% ) .TNM staging for 248 malignancies showed majority falling in Stage II A(32.7%). Grading revealed majority presenting as Grade II(59.3%). Her 2/neu positivity was 35.96% which correlated with the Grade and ER/ PR status thereby affecting the survival.
