Abstract:     Methods, kits, and apparatus for locating, labelling, and accessing breast ducts are described. An orifice to one or more ductal networks is labelled using a specific binding substance, typically an antibody, specific for a tissue marker present on the orifice. Exemplary tissue markers include those present on the ductal epithelium, such as cytokeratins, including cytokeratin 8 and cytokeratin 18; E cadhedrin; and epithelial membrane antigen. Labelling of the ductal orifices permits reliable identification and access to each of the multiple ductal networks which may be present in an individual breast.
