ABSTRACT
One hundred cases of carcinoma breast were analysed with regard to histological features and clinical follow-up. Bad prognostic factors included tumour size larger than 5cms; absent or minimal intraduct component in the tumour and absent or minimal periductal elastosis. Conversely significant intraduct component in the tumour and periductal elastosis were associated with better survival. Degree of lymph nodal involvement did not influence the outcome. One reason for this unexpected finding could be that patients with more than 3 lymph node involvement were given additional chemotherapy.
