Ductoscopy is a relatively recent, minimally invasive special procedure for the early detection of breast cancer. It enables the inspection of the milk ducts to the eighth ramification thus closing a gap between x-ray technology and invasive operations. The Greifswald Breast Center, headed by consultant Dr. Ralf Ohlinger, is currently testing ductoscopy as part of a Germany-wide multi-center study.
