Objectives: To study ER and PR status in breast carcinoma in the study sample and to
correlate ER and PR status with clinicopathological prognostic parameters.
Materials and Methods: All the breast cancer specimens (mastectomy and lumpectomy specimens) sent to
Department of pathology, Al-Ameen Medical College, Vijayapur for histopathological study during the
period of 3 years (June 2013-May 2016) were included in the study. Clinical data were obtained from
hospital records. The specimens were examined for gross details, routinely processed and stained with H &
E stain and were examined for presence of breast carcinoma. Assessment of various clinical and histologic
prognostic parameters was done. All these cases were subjected to IHC for ER and PR status
