Service Providers for Nipple Discharge Cytology for Malignant Cells
This test is used to detect cancerous cells in nipple discharge. Preparation involves cleaning the area before sample collection. During the test, a healthcare provider collects a sample of the discharge using a swab or aspiration. Risks are minimal but may include mild discomfort or slight bleeding. After the test, no special care is required. Results are examined under a microscope to identify malignant cells, helping to diagnose conditions like breast cancer. Factors like recent breastfeeding, infection, or benign conditions can affect results and may require further testing for clarity.
