Area of Science:

  • Breast oncology
  • Minimally invasive surgical techniques
  • Medical imaging and diagnostics

Background:

  • Most breast lesions originate from the ductal lining epithelium.
  • Conventional imaging methods provide indirect visualization, requiring biopsies for confirmation.
  • Pathologic nipple discharge (PND) often indicates underlying ductal abnormalities.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To discuss advancements in intraductal technology for breast lesions.
  • To highlight the diagnostic and therapeutic potential of ductoscopy.
  • To explore minimally invasive treatment options for PND.

Main Methods:

  • Review of current intraductal technologies, including ductoscopy.
  • Discussion of miniaturized endoscopic tools (endo-baskets, wires) for treatment.
Keywords:
