This study was undertaken to evaluate the clinicopathological characteristics of patients with breast cancer at our institute, a tertiary-care cancer center in northern India. MATERIALS AND
METHODS:
This retrospective study included all patients with breast cancer registered at our institute from January 1st, 2014 to December 31st, 2016. We retrieved data (demographic, baseline clinical characteristics, pathology, and treatment details) from prospectively maintained clinical case records. Patients with incomplete case records or missing baseline information were excluded.
This is one of the largest comprehensive data from a single center in India. Majority of our patients are younger in age and have advanced disease. TNBC and HER2/neu positive breast cancer are more common in our population.
