[Value of galactography for the diagnostic work-up of pathological nipple discharge in multimodal breast diagnostics : Part 2: A systematic review of the literature.]

CONCLUSION: Galactography, US and MRM all show a weak level of evidence and no superiority of a particular method can be derived. Therefore, galactography can no longer be considered as a mandatory standard in modern multimodal imaging of the breast. Recommendations for the diagnostic work-up of pathological nipple discharge have to be included in current guidelines and must consider these facts. PMID: 24233402 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
