Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • Biomarkers expression levels

    Nipple aspiration fluid samples will be compared between breast cancer participants and healthy participants. will perform the logistic regression model for each biomarker that shows any difference between the breast cancer patients and healthy individuals. Then we will include multiple biomarkers in one model while controlling for confounders.

    Up to 1 year
