“…This is likely to be due to the different age distribution of the Indian population, where only 7% of the population is above the age of 60 years [2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9]. In the present study 49% of women were in the age group of 41-50 years, in contrast a study by Pakseresht et al [9] had lower age range from 31-40 years (34.5%), whereas Ambroise et al [6](46.4%) Suvarchala et al [8] (45.31%), and Rhodes et al [10] (36.42%) had higher age range between 51-60years.…”

Introduction: Breast carcinoma is the most common cancer among women.Prognosis and management of breast cancer are influenced by classic variables such as grade, stage, hormone receptor status of estrogen (ER), progesterone (PR) & Her2/neu overexpression.Though hormone receptor analysis is a prerequisite in this era, for management and prognosis, still histopathological grading can be taken up as an important variable for predicting prognosis.An attempt has been made in this study to correlate histopathological grade with hormone receptor status in breast carcinomas in our institution. Modified radical mastectomy specimens were subjected for routine histological examination and Immunohistochemical analysis. Clinical details were archived from the files. Statistical analysis was done and p value of <0.05 were taken as significant using chi-square test. Results: The age of the patients ranged from 24 to 75 years.Majority of tumours were predominantly of histopathological grade two.By Immunohistochemistry 52% were ER+/PR+, 25% were Her2/neu positive and 20% of triple negatives.A significant association was seen between histologic grade and hormone receptor status. Conclusion: Histologic gradingtogether with receptor status offers an excellent method of correlation of survival rate and response to hormonal therapy which lightens up a prospect of various treatment modalities.

“…Changes in menstrual and reproductive patterns among women (i.e., early age at menarche and late age at first childbirth) may have contributed to the increase in breast cancer risk, particularly among younger women. (Pakseresht et al, 2009;Lodha et al, 2011) Parity and age at first child birth: Greater number of births and early age at first full term birth (FFTB) are also found to be associated with breast cancer.…”

Background: Breast cancer is the most frequent cancer in women globally and represents the second leading cause of cancer death among women (after lung cancer). India is going through epidemiologic transition. It is reported that the incidence of breast cancer is rising rapidly as a result of changes in reproductive risk factors, dietary habits and increasing life expectancy, acting in concert with genetic factors. Materials and Methods: In order to understand the existing epidemiological correlates of breast cancer in South India, a systematic review of evidence available on epidemiologic correlates of breast cancer addressing incidence, prevalence, and associated factors like age, reproductive factors, cultural and religious factors was performed with specific focus on screening procedures in southern India. Results: An increase in breast cancer incidence due to various modifiable risk factors was noted, especially in women over 40 years of age, with late stage of presentation, lack of awareness about screening, costs, fear and stigma associated with the disease serving as major barriers for early presentation. Conclusions: Educational strategies should be aimed at modifying the life style, early planning of pregnancy, promoting breast feeding and physical activity. It is very important to obtain reliable data for planning policies, decision-making and setting up the priorities.
