Breast cancer histologic grading

Table 4 CARP-1 expression inversely correlates with the breast cancer histologic grade (Fisher s exact P = 0.00000378)...

Tumor size and the presence and number of involved axillary lymph nodes are primary factors in assessing the risk for breast cancer recurrence and subsequent metastatic disease. Other disease characteristics that provide prognostic information include histologic subtype, nuclear or histologic grade, lymphatic and vascular invasion, and proliferation indices.
