Abstract:Background: Vitamin D deficiency has been associated with poor prognosis in breast cancer. A new molecular classification of breast cancer is being increasingly used that is based on expression of estrogen receptors, progesterone receptors and Her2/neu amplification and is found to correlate well with prognosis and outcome of disease. The present study was designed to determine serum vitamin D deficiency in these molecular subtypes of breast cancer.
Methods:Estimation ofserum vitamin D levels by chemiluminisce… Show more
