“…This study showed statistically signiicant correlation (p<0.005) between cytological and histological grade which was similar to the study done by Rajan J et al 14 , lingegowda et al 18 and Frias et al 21 . Table 12 showed the cytological and histological correlation between various studies in relation to our studies.…”

A total of 58 cases of cytologically conirmed breast carcinoma were included in this study and correlated with histopathological indings. Robinson's cytological grading was done on cytology smears and modiied Bloom-Richardson grading was done on histological sections. Correlation between these two grading was done by using spearman's correlation coeficient.Results: Cytologically, most common tumor was grade II (62.1%) followed by grade I (19%) and grade III (19%). Histologically, most common tumor was grade II (63.8%) followed by grade III (22.4%) and grade I (13.8%). High concordance rate was found in grade II tumor (80%) with absolute concordance being 65.9%. On cytology, cell dissociation and nuclear margin were determining features (p<0.005). Correlation between cytological grading and histological grading was statistically signiicant (p<0.005).Conclusion: : Robinson's cytological grading is the easy grading method that can be done on cytology smears of the breast carcinoma to achieve relevant information regarding aggressiveness of the tumor and to plan for neoadjuvant chemotherapy preoperatively.

“…In studies by Gore CR et al 18 , Vasudev V et al 19 , Das et al 20 , Meena SP et al 21 and Handa U et al 22 , the absolute concordance rate was 82.76%, 64.4%, 71.2%, 83.10% and 78% respectively. In studies conducted by Rajan J et al 23 , Lingegowda J B et al 24 , and Robles-Frías A et al 25 there were significant association (P < 0.000), (P < 0.001) and (P < 0.0005) respectively between the grades assigned to cytologic and histologic specimens. From the present study, we have observed that absolute concordance rate was 93.33% with predominance of grade II tumors and concordance rate is highest in grade III tumors, which is in corroboration with other studies.…”

Introduction: Carcinoma of the breast is the most common non-skin malignancy in women and it follows lung cancer among deaths related to cancer. Fine needle aspiration cytology is a reliable method for the initial evaluation and diagnosis of palpable masses of the breast. Study aimed to correlate Robinson's Cytological grading of breast carcinomas with Elston-Ellis' modification of Bloom Richardson's Histological Grading. Material and Methods: The materials for the study were collected from patients being referred for fine needle aspiration with clinical diagnosis of breast carcinoma for a period of 12 months. Cytological features were graded using Robinson's cytological system. Histological grading was done according to Elston's modified Bloom and Richardson method. Cytological and histological grades were correlated to find the concordance between the two grading systems. Results: A total of 60 breast cancer cases in females were studied. In the study, concordance rate between grade I tumors in cytology and histology was 92%, for grade II tumors, it was 93.10%, and for grade III tumors it was 100%. The absolute concordance rate of all the three grades was found to be 93.33%. Conclusions: Aspiration cytology is an important examination for the evaluation of any breast lesions preoperatively. As with the histological grading, the cytological grading would aid in the prognosis besides diagnosis and help the patients without additional burden. Cytology grading has an additional assistance for neo adjuvant chemotherapy too.
