Abstract

Background: Tumour budding is defined as a small cluster of cancer cells (less than 5 cells) and isthe first step in invasion and metastasis. It has been best studied in colorectal carcinoma, where itis associated with a poor prognosis. Recently it has been studied in breast carcinoma, where it hasbeen shown to be associated with adverse clinico-pathological parameters. Objective: To assess thetumour budding in cases of infiltrating ductal carcinoma of breast, and to correlate its relation toP53 and Ki67 expression. Methods: This retrospective study was conducted from September 2022to September 2023. Tumor buds were assessed and graded into a three‑tier grading system. P-53and Ki-67 expression was graded based on percentage positivity of tumour cells. The correlationbetween tumour budding and p53 and Ki-67 expression was studied along with other clinicpathologicalparameters. Results: Grade 1 tumour budding was observed in 30% cases, Grade 2tumour budding was seen in 33.33 % and Grade 3 tumour budding were seen in majority of cases(36.67%,). There was a statistically significant correlation between tumour budding and increasedKi-67 expression (p=0.00065). P-53 expression and tumour budding showed no significantcorrelation (p=0.159). There was a significant association in relation to increasing histologic grade(p=0.0031) and presence of lympho-vascular invasion (p=0.044). Conclusion: Tumour budding isseen to associated with parameters favouring poor prognosis. Further studies with larger samplesize are needed to ascertain its role as an added prognostic marker.
