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.
