Seventy Five subjects were selected. Fifty subjects were breast cancer patients and 25 healthy control subjects were included. FDPs and D-dimers were performed by using commercially available kits. Results obtained were analyzed by using chi-square (X2) test and level of significance was done. A significant increase in the levels of FDPs and D-dimers were found in patients with breast cancer.
