title: Dynamic morpho-cyto-echography and the echographic galactoscopy endo-ductal sample. Intrinsic and extrinsic markers in the detection of breast cancers.
abstract: The galactophorous tree is the support of mammary pathology and all our research efforts are turned towards: (1) the study of what we call extrinsic markers of high malignancy risk by using high resolution echography, and (2) the study of what we call intrinsic markers by the detection of epithelial proliferation confined to the interior of galactophorous ducts and terminal lobular ducts. This epithelial proliferation can present a high risk of malignancy and can be visualized using the echographic galactoscopy and the intra-galactophoric endoscopy. The needle cyto-puncture and the endo-ductal sample, with the help of a microcytobrush, provide cytological and histological answers. Therefore, we tackle mammary pathology by the extra and endo ductal echographic study of all the segments of the galactophorous tree.
