What does the medical literature show regarding breast thermographys ability to provide early detection?
A. When used as part of a multimodal approach (clinical examination + mammography + thermography), 95% of early stage cancers will be detected. Thermography has the ability to detect the first signs that a cancer may be forming up to 10 years before any other procedure can detect it. Extensive clinical trials have shown that breast thermography significantly augments the long-term survival rates of its recipients by as much as 61%.
