Abstract
Prognostic factors are important for the diagnosis of breast cancer as it helps in identification of high risk patients. The objective of the study is to assess the proliferation index, Ki-67 and correlate it with other markers. The present study was a cohort study conducted in the Department of General Surgery at Tertiary Care Teaching Hospital over a period of 1 year with a sample size of 98. All the patients meeting the inclusion and exclusion criteria are recruited sequentially by convenient sampling until the sample size is attained, with the agreement of the institutional ethics committee. A total of 98 patients with a mean age of 53.61 ± 12.48 years were studied in the final analysis. The mean duration of lump was 4.62 ± 2.18 months and only 6.12% had the complaint of pain. Majority of them had stage IIIB carcinoma at 43.88%, followed by stage IIA at 27.55%, 15.31% stage IIB, 13.27% stage IIIA. At cut off 20, 69(70.40%) had ki67 proliferation index ≥20 and 29(29.59%) had<20. Correlation of Ki-67 Index with expression of estrogen receptor status had a p value of 0.019 and with progesterone receptor status, p 0.003 which was significant.
