Correlation of tumor budding with a novel and other established prognostic parameters in patients with invasive breast carcinoma.

Context: Breast cancer is the most common malignancy among women. Established prognostic markers in breast carcinomas include tumor size, histologic grade, nodal status, lymphovascular invasion, perineural invasion, hormone receptor status, HER-2 status, and age.

Aim: To correlate peripheral tumor budding (pTB) with stromal tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes (sTILs) and established prognostic factors in invasive breast carcinoma.

Fetal Autopsy-Categories and Causes of Death at a Tertiary Care Center.

Background: A fetus is defined from 8 weeks after conception until term while in the uterus. Fetal death is defined as death of the fetus before the complete expulsion or extraction from the mother, irrespective of the duration of pregnancy that is not an induced termination of pregnancy. The causes of fetal death determined after fetal autopsy can be categorized according to the classification proposed by Cunningham and Hollier as fetal, placental, and maternal.
