View in English: Ductal lavage
Lavado ductal
Método utilizado para recoger células de los conductos lácteos de la mama. Se inserta un catéter (tubo) del tamaño de un cabello en el pezón y se libera una pequeña cantidad de agua salada en el conducto. El agua recoge las células de la mama y se extraen. Las células se examinan bajo un microscopio. El lavado ductal puede usarse, además del examen clínico de la mama y la mamografía, para detectar el cáncer de mama.
