There is no way to prevent intraductal papilloma. Intraductal papilloma may increase the risk for breast cancer.

Most breast cancers are curable if they are detected very early. This is why a regular screening program is so important.

Breast cancer screening:

• Breast self-examination:
• Once a month
• Mammogram once every year after 50 years of age.
• Mammogram once every 2 years after 40 years of age.
• Physician breast exams once a year after 40 years of age.
