Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The primary purpose of this research is to analyze the cells present in the fluid obtained via ductal lavage from the nipple of a woman with a known diagnosis of breast cancer. A portion of the lavage fluid may be used in future breast cancer biomarkers. Remaining lavage fluid will be used to analyze its biochemical composition, for investigational purposes only.
