Breast cancer has become the most frequently diagnosed cancer and the leading cause of cancer-related death among women worldwide, overtaking lung cancer. The Present study attempts to investigate the use of D2 -40 for the detection of lympho- vascular invasion in node negative breast cancer. Additionally the lympho-vascular invasion using D2 -40 and its association with distant metastasis and overall prognosis of the patient was also explored.
