Popis: Key Topics Relate breast cytoarchitecture to its proximal fluid representation of the entire breast. Types and features of proximal breast fluids. Breast cancer (BrCa) risk assessment using biomarkers in proximal fluids. Commercial application of BrCa management using biomarkers in proximal fluids. Key Points Breast anatomy and the sick lobe hypothesis of BrCa suggest biomarkers from some lesions in the breast might not be represented in breast proximal fluids. The intraductal approach with acquisition of breast fluid for risk assessment has been practiced since the early 1940s and is currently useful for risk assessment in women at elevated risk. Nipple aspirate fluid acquisition is more amenable to be deployed for BrCa screening but contains less cells than the minimally invasive ductal lavage approach. Molecular biomarkers in breast proximal fluids should augment cytomorphologic assessment of BrCa risk and early detection.
