Why is a Breast Thermogram so effective?
Prior to a tumor being formed, cells in the breast begin to create a cancer-friendly environment. Part of this process involves angiogenesis, which is the development of new blood vessels. These blood vessels provide a blood supply to the area for the cancer to grow. The process of angiogenesis creates heat patterns. Thermography, being sensitive to fluctuations in temperature, can detect these heat changes in the breast far earlier than any other screening methods. Numerous studies have shown that Thermography can detect the signs of developing cancer years before self examination or Mammography (by up to 10 years) and that it is a very good indicator of risk for breast cancer.
