Abstract
Result: Eighty-nine patients were included in the study. A total of one hundred and two patients were diagnosed with breast cancer based on biopsy results; thirteen patients were excluded due to the unknown stage and/or grade. The mean age was 53.9 years. The majority of cases were infiltrating ductal carcinoma (IDC), 82 (92%). The most common molecular subtype detected in the study was Luminal B (ER+, PR+, HER2+), 29 (32.6%) of the study population. Nine (10%) had an unknown grade, and 8 (8.9%) had unknown stage were excluded from the analysis.
