  • Title: Ductal lavage, nipple aspiration, and ductoscopy for breast cancer diagnosis.
    Author: Dooley WC.
    Journal: Curr Oncol Rep; 2003 Jan; 5(1):63-5. PubMed ID: 12493152.
    Abstract:
    The intraductal approach to breast cancer has been invigorated this year by a series of papers exploring ductal-based screening through nipple aspiration and lavage and ductal exploration through endoscopy. The merging of these efforts to define the earliest biologic changes in the progression toward breast cancer is opening new fields for both bench-translational and clinical research. These techniques have already begun to show value in defining the presence and extent of proliferative disease in high-risk patients, allowing for more informed therapeutic decision making.
