Nipple discharge can stem from normal body functions or benign breast conditions, but may indicate breast cancer. A precise diagnostic approach is crucial for identifying patients who require surgery.

Area of Science:

  • Oncology
  • Surgical Pathology
  • Breast Imaging

Context:

  • Nipple discharge is a common breast symptom with diverse etiologies.
  • While often benign, it can be an early sign of breast cancer.
  • Effective management requires differentiating between physiological, benign, and malignant causes.

Purpose:

  • To review the diagnostic and treatment experience for 1241 patients presenting with nipple discharge.
  • To emphasize the critical role of a structured diagnostic protocol.
  • To identify criteria for selecting patients who would benefit from surgical treatment.

Summary:

  • The study analyzed 1241 patients with breast nipple discharge.
  • Diagnostic evaluations included clinical assessment, imaging, and cytology.

  • Surgical intervention was reserved for cases with confirmed malignancy or persistent, problematic benign conditions.

    • Impact:

    • Highlights the importance of a systematic diagnostic pathway for nipple discharge.
    • Aims to improve the accuracy of breast cancer detection in patients with this symptom.
    • Provides insights into optimizing surgical selection for better patient outcomes.
