PURPOSE Nipple secretions are protein-rich and a potential source of breast cancer biomarkers for breast cancer screening. Previous studies of specific proteins have shown limited correlation with clinicopathological features. Our aim, in this pilot study, was to investigate the intra- and interpatient protein composition of nipple secretions and the implications for their use as liquid biopsie...

Recommended body mass index cutoff values for overweight screening programs in Australian children and adolescents: comparisons with North America values. To our knowledge, only one report describing nipple diameters in pubertal boys has been published. 1 We studied 462 boys, aged 8–17 years, to determine if nipple diameter might provide measurable criteria for assessing sexual maturation durin...
