Brief Summary

Breast cancer is the commonest cancer in women in urban India and accounts for about 25% to 33% of all cancers in women. Most of the risk factors and other features of breast cancer are usually identical round the world. However, each country has unique characteristics of cancer. e.g. about 50-55% of breast cancer cases were detected at late (III and IV) stage; in contrast to the 15% in US. Estrogen (ER) and HER2 are currently used in routine pathological assessment of breast cancer due to their predictive and prognostic role in management of breast cancer. Present Indian data is limited to few centers involved in population based cancer registry or of individual centers only. This may not reflect actual national incidence and frequencies of above mentioned aspects of breast cancer.

**Objective**

- To register new Breast Cancer patients and record their demographic, clinical and pathological features.

- To collate information on clinical course of the disease, treatment and after therapy follow-up.

- To collate the epidemiological data with emphasis on the biological markers in breast cancer

- To explore possibility to launch a national registry based on initial experience.

The data of breast cancer patient will be collected prospectively in new patients with the help of web based software or patient registry tool (PRT). Decisions related to treatment would be the choice of the treating doctor. Within a week of assessment/visit to OPD, the patient’s data from medical records will be entered using PRT. The registry will record the data available on demographics, relevant history, treatment given, recurrence and progression of disease, last follow up & death.
