This year over 200,000 women will be diagnosed with breast cancer, and over 40,000 women will die. Medical Infrared Thermal Imaging can detect certain cancers 10 years before a mammogram with over a 90% accuracy and without the discomfort, errors, and radiation associated with mammography.
According to the National Cancer Institute:
• 1 in 8 women will be diagnosed with breast cancer during their lifetime.
• Over 30% of women are diagnosed after breast cancer has spread beyond the localized stage.
• When breast cancer is detected early (localized stage), the 5-year survival rate is 98%
There are four ways in which Medical Thermography services help physicians and their breast cancer patients:
• offers a breast screening option for women reluctant to radiation methods
• enables very early breast cancer detection – even with negative mammogram
• provides compelling physiological data useful in determining the necessity for biopsy following suspicious/inconclusive mammogram
• monitors estrogen activity in the breasts
