Highlights

Human breast carcinomas represent a group of diverse tumors that vary in their natural history and responsiveness to therapy.[1]
Accurate diagnosis of breast cancer is made in 99% of cases by the combination of clinical examination, mammography and simple, noninvasive, cost-effective outpatient department procedure, fine-needle aspiration cytology (FNAC)
Of the different cytologic grading methods corresponding to Elston's modified Bloom Richardson grading, the method described by Robinson et al.[5] was found to be useful in grading breast carcinoma in fine needle aspiration (FNA)

Summary

Introduction

Human breast carcinomas represent a group of diverse tumors that vary in their natural history and responsiveness to therapy.[1]. Accurate diagnosis of breast cancer is made in 99% of cases by the combination of clinical examination, mammography and simple, noninvasive, cost-effective outpatient department procedure, fine-needle aspiration cytology (FNAC). Histological grading of breast carcinoma using the Nottingham method described by Elston and Ellis ( called Elston's modified Bloom and Richardson method) is a widely accepted tumor grading system and has been found to have good prognostic correlations.[3] In recent years, fine needle aspiration (FNA) cytology is increasingly being used for the pre-operative diagnosis of breast cancer. Of the different cytologic grading methods corresponding to Elston's modified Bloom Richardson grading, the method described by Robinson et al.[5] was found to be useful in grading breast carcinoma in FNA
