Assigning a @entity5 grade to @entity0 provides important prognostic information and guides optimal therapy. The present study was undertaken to grade @entity0 on aspirates by Robinson grading ( @entity46337 ) and Scarff-Bloom-Richardson grading system (SBR). Histological grading was done according to Nottingham modification of Scarff-Bloom-Richardson method and the two cytological grading systems were compared. Fifty cases of @entity0 with preoperative cytologic diagnosis were assigned @entity5 grade. Histologic grading was done on corresponding mastectomy or partially resected specimens. Statistical analysis was performed; correlation between cytologic and histologic grading was established using Spearman correlation coefficient. Regression analysis was done to assess the significance of each cytological feature. Univariate analysis showed strong correlation (P < 0.01) for all features except dissociation. Multiple regression analysis of cytologic features revealed cell dissociation nucleoli and nuclear margin as the most influential features. A concordance of 72.5% between @entity46337 (cyto) and SBR (cyto), 64% for @entity46337 (cyto) and SBR (histo), 82% for SBR (cyto) and SBR (histo) was noted. There was a significant association (P < 0.001) between the grades assigned to cytologic and histologic specimens. Cytologic grade could be used to predict histologic grade as significant relationship exists between grades assigned to cytologic and histologic specimens.
