Prolactin is not a cancer marker also milky nipple discharge is often a normal phenomenon if the lady is parous or breatfeeding. Discharge which is spontaneous and from a single duct and bloody is the one you should be concerned of as its often pthological and may be associated with underlying malignancy. Also a personal pr family h/o of breast cancer should alert you. Mammogram helps you to screen for occult breast neoplasm Do not be unnecessarily worried. Consult a surgeon.

Milky discharge is not related to cancer. All pathologies in breast are not cancerous. Milky discharge can be related to high prolactin level in the body. That's why doctors will check it. It can be reverted with medicine s. But better to get checked by Breast Surgeon once.
