## Summary A series of 215 patients with breast cysts has provided 348 specimens of cyst fluid for cytological diagnosis. Only one of these specimens was reported positive for malignant cells and this patient had a carcinoma. Nine specimens were reported as suspicious, but none of these patients ha
BACKGROUND. Ductal lavage (DL) does not routinely identify cytologically malignant cells. For this study, the authors asked whether molecular analyses of DL specimens from women with cancer would identify abnormal cells, even if they appeared cytologically normal. METHODS. DL was performed and yiel
## Background: Early detection of breast carcinoma enhances the chances for patient survival. the authors' work focused on an innovative technique that couples breast ductal lavage (dl) with surface-enhanced laser desorption and ionization-time of flight mass spectrometry (seldi-tof ms) to yield a
