This title reviews the key prognostic factors in breast cancer, discussing the methodologies involved in measuring and reporting, and also examines the roles of major predictive markers such as the steroid receptors, p53 and HER-2.

It is now well recognized that breast cancer is a heterogenous disease with variation in clinical behaviour, and that the biological nature of the disease and clinical outcome are closely interlinked.
