Popis: Introduction: Breast cancer (BC) is the most common cancer and the second most common cause of death in women. Prognostic factors are essential in BC diagnosis as they allow the identification of high-risk patients, for whom, an adjuvant therapy can improve prognosis. Interest in Ki-67 has recently increased as Ki-67 is a potential marker for predicting the responsiveness to chemotherapy. Materials and Methods: The study was conducted on 75 consecutive cases of primary breast carcinoma undergoing radical or modified radical mastectomy specimen. Histopathological diagnosis was established on routine hematoxylin and eosin stain and various histologic prognostic parameters including histologic type, histologic grade, and lymph node metastases were assessed. All biopsy proven carcinoma breast were included in this study. Results: Among presenting compliant, 47 (62.66%) had lump in right breast and 28 (37.33%) had lump in left breast. Most patients in the study population presented with a lump of duration 3-6 months (54.6%). Out of 75 participants, 41 (62.66%) participants were diagnosed with carcinoma right beast and 28 (37.33%) with carcinoma left breast. On staging the disease among the study population, most of them diagnosed with breast cancer were of stage IIIB (48%) followed by IIA (25.33%).
