  • Abstract
    Early diagnosis of breast cancer is the key to extending survival of breast-cancer patients. We found that the concentrations of nipple fluid bFGF (basic fibroblast growth factor) was significantly increased in breast-cancer patients compared with concentrations in controls (1717 ng/L [SD 706] vs 19 ng/L [19]; Studentʹs t test p=0·027). Measurement of bFGF in nipple fluid could be a useful diagnostic tool for breast cancer, and deserves further study.
