Ductal Lavage

DUCTAL LAVAGE

Ductal lavage (rinsing) is a method of collecting cells from inside the milk ducts to be analyzed by pathologists for the presence of any atypical changes. Atypical cells are not necessarily precancerous, but their presence increases a woman’s risk of developing breast cancer. This study is meant to help women at high risk for breast cancer (family or personal history of breast cancer, BRCA1,2 carriers, high risk lesion on previous breast biopsy) make decisions about risk reduction options, such as tamoxifen treatment or prophylactic mastectomy.
