Breast carcinoma is an unpredictable disease in the sense that some patients may present with relatively early disease and die of widespread metastases within six months to one year, while others present with fairy advanced disease and yet survive longer. The aim of this study was to characterize breast carcinomas into prognostic groups using histological features.
