Abstract

Aims: This paper uses the parameter-based correlation to Nottingham prognostic indexwith specific attempt for histologic grade/ nuclear atypia. Place and Duration of the Study: The retrospective analysis was conducted at Acharya Harihar Regional Cancer Research Centre and Hospital, Cuttack, Odisha within a period of 6 years starting from 2008 to 2013. Methodology: In this paper we have done retrospective analysis of the histopathological data of 1372 breast carcinoma patients from eastern India and subjected to different regimens of therapy and patient health constitution driven treatment outcome. This paper uses the parameter-based correlation to NPI with specific attempt for histological grade/ nuclear atypia. Statistical Methods: SPSS version 22. Results: The results of the study gives a impression that the correlation of NPI and histologic grade bears statistical significance and especially nuclear atypia and mitotic activity are two of those parameters with higher significance of correlation with NPI. Conclusion: Nuclear atypia as seen from multivariate analysis and correlation study can be a better prognostic marker for a range of values with most the confidence interval being up to 3.71.
