PURPOSE: Our previous study suggests that the cross-sectional morphology of ducts and branching of ducts in the nipple are associated with the presence of breast cancer. In this study, we evaluated whether cross-sectional morphology and duct branching of human nipple obtained by X-ray dark-field imaging tomographic technique (XDFI-CT) could predict the likelihood of the presence of intraductal cancer into the nipple.
METHODS: A total of 51 nipple specimens were obtained from consecutive total mastectomies performed for breast cancer in Nagoya Medical Center. After reconstructing 3D images of the nipple using XDFI-CT, the cross-sectional images and the 3D arrangement of ducts were extracted. These cross-sectional images of ducts were classified into four patterns based on the status of the lumen without being informed of pathology results.
RESULTS: Of the four patterns, the distended ducts with heterogenous content were highly correlated with the presence of ductal carcinoma in situ confirmed by histopathology. The total number of orifices identified in the 51 specimens was 1298, and 182 (14%) at the tip and 19 (1.5%) at least 5 mm depth from the tip were composed of two or more ducts.
CONCLUSIONS: Anatomy of nipple ducts is essential to evaluate risk of local recurrence after nipple-sparing mastectomy because cancerous spread occurs within the duct of the same segment of the mammary duct-lobular system in the in situ stage. The 3D microscale anatomy of nipple ducts revealed by XDFI-CT provides useful information to assess the risk of breast cancer involvement at the preserved portion in nipple-sparing mastectomy.
