Epithelial Cell Cytology In Breast Cancer Risk Assesment And High-Risk Patient Management (Ductal Labage And Suction Collection Systems)

In summary, the available literature regarding ductal lavage and suction collection systems for breast cancer risk assessment are inadequate to draw clinical conclusions. The policy statement remains unchanged. These procedures are investigational for the assessment of breast cancer risk given the insufficient evidence to evaluate the impact on net health outcome.Various collection systems have been investigated as techniques to obtain epithelial cells for cytological examination. These techniques have been evaluated as a diagnostic and risk assessment tool in patients at high risk of breast cancer. <a id="
