Brief Summary

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

This trial studies nipple aspirate fluid in detecting breast cancer. Nipple aspirate fluid may better detect breast cancer earlier than current methods used for screening such as mammograms and breast examinations.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

PRIMARY OBJECTIVES:

I. To obtain nipple aspirate fluid (NAF) samples from non-lactating women subjects at least 40-years-old.

II. To analyze the samples using a novel protein nanopore-based detection platform to evaluate the efficacy of the platform for breast cancer diagnosis through detection of biomarkers.

OUTLINE:

Participants and healthy volunteers undergo collection of nipple aspirate fluid from both breasts.

After completion of study, participants are followed up at 1 year.
