Abstract
A method of extracting biopsy cells from a breast uses an endoscopic instrument having a distal end that is substantially needle like, a working channel, a light source and a lens. The instrument can be coupled to an apparatus for viewing an image including depth of field viewing. The instrument is inserted into a nipple of a breast and liquid is ejected from the distal end. Reverse pressure is applied so that the liquid and biopsy cells are retrieved into the instrument. The cells are then extracted from the breast.
