There have been expressions of shock and concern over the mention of a wire
probe of the ducts. Actually this is a procedure that can be done to
explore for ductal tumors and abnormalities.Dye is used and then there is
visualization. I can't recall what the name of the procedure is, but it is
legit. I heard it described at the Rush meeting on Breast Cancer During
Preg. and Lactation 2 yrs ago.
