An intraductal approach to breast cancer risk assessment and screening in a diverse population

The Gail Risk model was developed based on data from Caucasian women. Little information is available regarding breast cancer risk assessment in women of other ethnicities. Our study invited asymptomatic women of color presenting for screening mammography, to be interviewed with a risk questionnaire and to undergo aspiration of nipple fluid (NAF) for cytology. The HALOR system was used to aspirate the nipple fluid.
