Nipple Aspirate Fluid Exfoliative Cytopathology and Molecular Biomarkers

Nipple Aspirate Fluid Exfoliative Cytopathology and Molecular Biomarkers: Current Role in the Management of Breast Health gives a comprehensive overview of the current and past uses of nipple aspirate fluid (NAF) in breast cancer diagnosis and risk assessment. Topics covered include: • NAF collection methods • analytical validity of NAF cytology • the role of NAF cytology in breast cancer risk stratification • molecular biomarkers found in NAF • risk stratification based on molecular biomarkers in NAF • the effects of therapeutic interventions on NAF cytology and biomarkers • pharmacoeconomic evaluation of NAF-based risk assessment • clinical validity and clinical utility of NAF cytopathology Nipple Aspirate Fluid Exfoliative Cytopathology and Molecular Biomarkers is a primer on the advances that have been made regarding NAF cytology and molecular biomarkers, discussing new innovations in the context of past discoveries. It contains indispensable information about a field of breast cancer research that investigators and clinicians alike should be aware of.
