Studies of cellular findings in nipple aspirate specimens from 796 women revealed 50 women with abnormal cells and/or microcalcifications. The clinical correlation of these abnormalities with breast cancer appears to be highly significant: abnormal cells were found in 50% of the satisfactory specimens from women who had breast cancer or who had had a previous mastectomy for breast cancer. Continued observation of the women for evidence of regression, persistence, or progression of the cytologic abnormalities is required to determine the significance of the abnormalities. Microcalcifications were present in nipple aspirates from 27% of the women whose mammograms were interpreted as showing calcification. The absence of mammographic confirmation of the cytologic findings of microcalcifications may be an indication for re-evaluation of the existing mammograms and repeat clinical and mammographic examination at more frequent intervals for early localization of small lesions.
