[Cytologic grade, a prognostic factor in breast cancer]

J Mouriquand, M Bolla, P Gabelle

    Journal De Gynecologie, Obstetrique Et Biologie De La Reproduction
    |January 1, 1982
    PubMed
    Summary

    Fine needle aspiration (FNA) of breast carcinomas offers prognostic insights. Higher FNA grades correlate with increased risk of disease worsening and metastasis, aiding in patient stratification.

    Area of Science:

    • Oncology
    • Cytopathology

    Context:

    • Fine needle aspiration (FNA) is a common diagnostic technique for breast lesions.
    • Papanicolaou staining is a standard cytological staining method.

    Purpose:

    • To evaluate the prognostic value of cytological grading from FNA of breast carcinomas.
    • To correlate cytological findings with clinical outcomes and staging.

    Summary:

    • A hypochromic Papanicolaou staining procedure for breast carcinoma FNA yielded prognostic data.
    • Three grades of increasing severity were established.
    • Analysis of 189 patients showed significantly higher rates of adverse outcomes in Grade III compared to Grades I and II within 1-5 years.
    • Cytoprognostic classification strongly correlated with TNM staging and lymph node involvement.

  • Grade III identified patients with high metastatic potential, with increased recurrence rates even in early stages or without lymph node involvement.
  • Absence of steroid receptors further confirmed the poor prognosis associated with Grade III.

    • Impact:

    • This cytoprognostic classification can improve patient risk stratification.
    • It aids in identifying patients who may benefit from more aggressive therapeutic management.
    • Findings support the integration of cytological grading into routine breast cancer prognostication.
