December 9th, 2010 New Ductoscopy Procedure: Ductoscopy is a procedure used to evaluate nipple discharge. A tiny camera (0.7-0.9 mm) is inserted into the duct to evaluate the duct anatomy and identify abnormalities. During this procedure ductal fluid can be obtained for analysis. If an abnormality is identified, it can be removed through a surgical biopsy.This procedure may identify small abnormalities that are not detected on other imaging modalities and therefore is a useful tool to assist in the early detection of breast cancer.
