Breast Cancer Statistics

• In 2000 - 1 in 8 women have breast cancer

• Today – 1 in 7 women get breast cancer

• In 1920 - 1 in 8 people had cancer

• Today – 1 in 3 women and 1 in 2 men Get cancer

Thermography - Function

ther·mog·ra·phy noun \(ˌ)thər-ˈmä-grə-fē\the use of thermograms to study heat distribution in structures or regions, for example in detecting tumors (Oxford Dictionary)

Angiogenesis a Hallmark of Cancer

• Microscopic Size Tumours present all the time• No blood supply - no nutrients, cannot get any bigger• Autopsy studies 80% of 80 y have DCIS• 40% women age 40-50 have microscopic tumours in the breast• 50% men 50 y have microscopic tumours in the prostate• Close to 100% of all of us have microscopic tumours in thyroid by age 70

Breast Cancer• If the angiogenesis is a tipping

point b/w a harmless and harmful cancer

• Would it make sense to know about this at the earliest possible time?

Case Study• Annual mammography examinations negative • High risk thermography findings, confirmed breast cancer

Case Study• Palpable lump right breast at 8-9 o’clock.• No other tests or reports available.• Strong family history of breast cancer. • Referred for structural testing, confirmed positive

Interpretation Guidelines

Breast Thermography• Breast thermography is a great option for women of all ages and shapes

including younger women who may have dense breast tissue, women with fibrocystic breasts, and even women with implants

• Thermography is non-invasive, radiation free and 100% safe

• When thermography is used along with clinical examination and mammography, 95% of early stage cancers may be detected

• The advantages of early assessment of risk factors could be life-saving

Peri and Post Menopausal Guidelines

• Avoid HRT• BCP• Xeno-Estrogens• Estrogen metabolism• Physical Activity

• Nutrition• Breast Examination• Endocrine Disorders• Reduce X-Ray Radiation

Be responsible for your own health and remember that every action counts
