Comparison of the stages of breast cancer and cervical cancer development


With the understanding that almost all breast cancers begin in the milk ducts, Nipple Aspirate Fluid (NAF) examination allows the determination of benign breast disease, and the attendant increase in relative risk, years before an abnormality becomes visible by imaging or becomes a palpable lesion. Like cervical cancer, breast cancer typically grows slowly, taking, on average, 8 years before it can be detected by mammography, or up to 10 years before the lesion is palpable. The HALO Pap Test for the Breast can discover abnormal cells years before a mammogram and can help to find high risk women before they develop cancer. Virtually all breast cancer originates in the epithelial cells that line the interior of the milk ducts in the breasts. This is why the HALO Breast Pap Test collects nipple fluid that is then analyzed for abnormal cells
