According to the National Institutes of Health, one woman in 8, will be a victim of breast cancer in her lifetime. We know that our environment, with chemicals and pesticides and hormone-laden meat, are all contributors to this. But also, mammography using ionizing radiation is problematic. We are faced with the dilemma of how best to detect early breast cancer and do it as safely as possible without exposing our patients to risk in the process.
No doubt you have heard of MRIs and mammograms for detecting breast cancer, but let us introduce you to thermography which gives women individualized breast cancer risk assessment and provides the earliest detection available.
In fact, breast thermography has the ability to warn women up to 10 years in advance-before any other procedure-that a cancer may be forming, thus allowing for prompt and timely measures to prevent it from occurring. We know that breast cancer survival depends upon its earliest possible detection. Research has shown that if it is discovered in its earliest stages, the cure rates are excellent.
Who is at greatest risk for breast cancer? Your chances of getting breast cancer increase if you have a family history of the disease although 75 percent of women who get breast cancer have no such history. Excess estrogen is the greatest single risk factor for breast cancer.
Thermography can warn women if they have excess estrogen within their breasts and the risk factors can be decreased with proper diet and lifestyle change.What is Thermography? Thermography is;
o Non invasive
o No radiation
o Painless
o No contact with the body
o F.D.A approved
This quick and easy test starts with your medical history being taken before you partially disrobe for the scanning to be performed. You do not have any contact with the equipment and your first 15-minute session provides the baseline of your 'thermal signature'. A subsequent session assures that the patterns remain unchanged.
Thermography detects the subtle physiologic changes that accompany breast pathology, whether it is cancer, fibrocystic disease, an infection or a vascular disease. We can then plan accordingly and lay out a careful program to further diagnose and/or monitor you during and after treatment. All of your thermograms (breast images) are kept on record so any changes can be detected during your routine annual studies.
When should women be screened? All women should be screened starting at age 20. Approximately one third of all breast cancers occur in women under the age of 45. Thermography provides a detection device that can give a warning signal far in advance of invasive tumor growth. Mammography, MRI, CT, ultrasound, and PET scans are only helpful once the tumor is actually there. But by then it may be too late. Early low-cost, non-invasive screening is the most important thing a woman can do with regard to her breast health. Thermography is the best method to do this.
