Phosphohistone H3 (PHH3) is a mitotic figure-specific immunohistochemical (IHC) marker. This study aims to evaluate the utility of PHH3 in detecting mitotic figures in invasive breast carcinoma in comparison to the conventional counting on hematoxylin and eosin (H&amp;E) slides and its correlation with Ki-67 index, histological grade, and other clinicopathological parameters.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Materials and methods<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>The study was conducted on 100 mastectomy specimens with breast cancers.

PHH3 identified significantly higher mitotic figures than conventional H&amp;E (14 vs 7\/10 HPF) and this led to a shift toward higher grades. By H&amp;E, 41% of tumors were grade 2, 40% grade 1, and 19% grade 3. After the PHH3 reassessment, grade 1 dropped to 34%, while grade 3 rose to 31%. PHH3 score significantly correlated with mitotic score on H&amp;E (\n                      <jats:italic toggle=\"yes\">p<\/jats:italic>\n                      \u2009&lt;\u20090.001), nuclear pleomorphism (\n                      <jats:italic toggle=\"yes\">p<\/jats:italic>\n                      \u2009=\u20090.008), tumor grade (\n                      <jats:italic toggle=\"yes\">p<\/jats:italic>\n                      \u2009&lt;\u20090.001), and Ki-67 index (\n                      <jats:italic toggle=\"yes\">r<\/jats:italic>\n                      \u2009=\u20090.534,\n                      <jats:italic toggle=\"yes\">p<\/jats:italic>\n                      \u2009&lt;\u20090.001).
