ABSTRACT
The study was conducted on 63 patients with breast lump and twenty normal healthy females. In benign breast disease, a significant (P < 0.001) rise in serum IgA, significant (P < 0.001) decrease in IgG and no change in IgM levels was seen before operation. A significant decrease (P < 0.001) in serum IgA and significant increase in IgG and IgM was observed post operatively. In carcinoma breast, a significant (P < 0.001) elevation in IgA, IgG and IgM levels was found pre-operatively with a concomitant decrease in serum IgA and IgG and increase in serum IgM levels, post operatively. Trans-sternal phlebography (TSP) carried out with 95.23% success has revealed significant (P < 0.001) change in the staging of carcinoma breast. The increased levels of serum immunoglobulins associated with the patients of carcinoma breast with metastasis has led to conclude that these levels, if punctuated with TSP findings can lead to better assessment of the staging of carcinoma breast and thereby its management.
