Panel Discussion on Current and Future
use of Ductal Lavage
Supported by Cytyc Health Corporation
Wednesday, December 11, 2002
7:30 PM Buffet Reception
8 – 9:30 PM Program
San Antonio Marriott Riverwalk Hotel
Salon D, Second Floor
Target Audience
This activity has been designed to meet the educational needs of
oncologists, surgeons, radiation therapists and nurses involved
in the management of patients with breast cancer.
Statement of Need
There is a great deal of heterogeneity in how physicians manage
women at high risk for breast cancer. A very small number of physicians
polled were currently utilizing ductal lavage or chemoprevention
in their practice. Ductal lavage is a safe and relatively simple
procedure, whose results may influence a woman’s decision
as to whether or not to initiate chemopreventive therapy, use hormone
replacement therapy, initiate early mammographic screening, or undergo
prophylactic mastectomy. In addition, ductal lavage has the potential
to enhance our future understanding of mutagenesis and our ability
to detect breast cancer earlier
Learning Objectives
Upon completion of the activity, participants should be better able
to:
- Differentiate your high-risk patients in whom ductal lavage
should be performed
- Determine and implement an evaluation and management algorithm
for your patients who have an abnormal ductal lavage
- Identify areas of research and future use of ductal lavage
