The present invention involves the measurement of nitric oxide in interstitial fluid extracted by a thin needle from a body tissue, and particularly a human breast. The diffuse nature of nitric oxide means that the sample of body fluid does not need to be taken directly from the lesion to indicate that cancerous cells are present in the vicinity. Therefore, the presence of nitric oxide in the extracted body fluid is a direct indicator of the presence of a cancerous lesion in the vicinity.

La présente invention à trait à la mesure du monoxyde d'azote dans un liquide interstitiel prélevé dans des tissus humains, et plus exactement dans le sein d'une patiente, au moyen d'une aiguille fine. Le monoxyde d'azote est de nature à se diffuser dans le corps, ce qui implique que l'échantillon de fluide humain ne doit pas nécessairement être prélevé directement dans la lésion pour indiquer la présence de cellules cancéreuses dans les tissus avoisinants. Par conséquent, la présence de monoxyde d'azote dans le liquide prélevé est un indicateur direct de la présence d'une lésion cancéreuse dans les tissus avoisinants.
