ABSTRACT
Breast carcinoma is the second major killer next to lung carcinoma in female population, and the incidence is on rise. The current study is undertaken to underscore the importance of a low-cost and easy technique like fine-needle aspiration to identify and to grade carcinoma cytologically using Robinson's grading system and Fisher's modification of Black's nuclear grading system and compare with standard Scarff-Bloom-Richardson (SBR) histologic grading system and hormonal receptor status, as these are an important prognostic factor determining the therapy and outcome. The study found that Robinson's cytological grading system is superior to Fischer's modification of Black's nuclear grading, and the former system lined in congruence with the SBR histologic grade of tumour.
