Abstract :

 Introduction: Breast cancer is the second most common cancer among women in India, after cancer of the cervix uteri. Presently, 75,000 new cases occur in Indian women every year.  Locally advanced east cancer constitutes more than 50% to 70% of patients presenting for treatment. Locally advanced east cancer (LABC) represents some of the most aggressive east cancers. Although in USA only 10–20% of all east cancer patients present as LABC, in India, 30–60% present as a LABC.Methodology  :Case records of all the female patients registered at the Breast Cancer Clinic at D.Y.Patilhospital,pune over a one–year period from April 2016 to April 2017 were retrieved. Patients with tumours more than five cm (T3) were included if they had N2  metastasis with stage III disease. Results :About 60% of east cancer patients have grade 3 tumours, 66% have auxiliary lymph node metastases, and 58% are both estrogen (ER) and progesterone (PR) receptor–negative. Data from Mumbai shows a slightly lower ER– and PR–negative rate of 47% .Conclusion :The poor overall survival rateof east cancer reflect delay in diagnosis, advanced stages of disease at presentation, and, probably, inadequate facilities for early diagnosis and treatment
