Our study has the largest sample size conducted on Indian population with results differing from previous studies conducted on western population. Estrogen receptor beta expression was significantly associated with small unifocal tumours and better DFS. Estrogen receptor alpha and androgen receptor expression were not found to be associated with the clinicopathologic features of the study population.
